BUSHkids is an NDIS Partner in the Community for children 0 to 6 years. As an Early Childhood Partner, BUSHkids supports families of children with developmental delay and provides the support needed to improve the child’s development. Where a child requires more intensive early intervention supports, BUSHkids staff work with the family to develop an NDIS plan to access the support funding the child needs on a more long-term basis.
The NDIS Early Childhood Early Intervention Approach (ECEIA) is a new program fully funded by the NDIA designed to help children aged 0-6 years with developmental delay or a disability to access the specialised supports and services they need to achieve better long-term outcomes. ECEIA is being provided through specialist Early Childhood Partners such as BUSHkids.
