Noah's Ark is proud to contribute to the national conversation on how best to support children and families.
Our submission to the Thriving Kids Inquiry reflects our long-standing commitment to evidence-informed practice in Australia.
We believe that:
- Supporting families is key to helping children thrive.
- Supports should enable children and families to participate meaningfully in everyday life—where they live, learn, and play.
- Families benefit from access to emotional support, evidence-based information, advocacy, and service coordination.
- A Transdisciplinary Key Worker Model offers tailored support for families with developmental concerns about their child.
We’re honoured to share our insights and continue advocating for inclusive, family-centred approaches.
