Children and young people aged up to 25 make up the largest proportion of all National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants (57 per cent). However, the NDIS was borne out of a movement which had a focus on adults with disability, and hence other than the Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) ‘pathway’ there has not been a focus on what supports children and young people as they grow and develop.
We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the diverse lands from which we work, and pay our respects to their Elders and their connection to land, sea and community. Sovereignty was never ceded and this always was, and always will be, Indigenous Land. We extend these respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders and communities from whose lands you are accessing our website.
