Currently the NDIS early childhood approach supports children younger than 7 and their families.
From 1 July 2023, the age of children supported under the early childhood approach will progressively change to include children younger than 9.
This change will occur over the next 2 years.
Changing the age to include children younger than 9 ensures children and their families are supported by an early childhood partner during and after they transition to primary school.
