Finding the right support for your child shouldn't be hard.
Thriving Kids Connect WA is the new central point of contact for families, carers and kin of children aged 0-8 years with developmental concerns, delay and/or autism with low to moderate support needs. It's the first service in WA’s phased roll out of the Thriving Kids national reforms, commencing from 1 October 2026.

Delivered by Uplyft (formerly Wanslea), Thriving Kids Connect WA is free for families across WA and provides tailored advice and information about child development and strategies to support their child, or connects them to support pathways as needed. You don't need a diagnosis, and you don't need to know exactly what support you're looking for – experienced Navigators will listen, offer advice and help you understand your options.

Thriving Kids Connect WA works alongside your child’s existing supports, not instead of them. If you’re already receiving the right help, you can keep going with your existing supports.

📆 Nearly a month has passed since the NDIS Bill passed the Senate.
🤝 If you’re feeling wobbly with all the changes right now, you’re not alone.

📜 In our live NDIS: The Law, Changes and Your Plan workshop later this month, we will explain the law to help you feel in more control of your plan and supports.

👇 10 of the main takeaways of the NDIS Bill:

1. 📉 People with high support needs can apply to have 50% cut reversed

2. 💼 Employment supports carve-out added, but not guaranteed for everyone

3. 📝 Reassessments can only be requested using the right form by the right person

4. ❌ The “unanticipated” change requirement has been removed

5. 🧒 A child, in terms of parental responsibility, means under 18, not forever

6. 🤍 Carer capacity now has to be considered

7. 📱 Assessments now account for assistive tech you already use

8. ➕ Grandfathering added for compensation-related disabilities

9. 💳 Debt rules improved

10. ✌ Plan management now funded separately

📂 The NDIS: The Law, Changes and Your Plan Resource Kit also includes practical tips, information and resources, and the peer session recording and auto transcript to keep using after the workshop.

💻 Live online session details: Tuesday 29 September, 10am – 12pm (SA Time)

💵 Cost: $168.90 (you can choose the best fit line item/support category for your invoice)

📩 If it is in line with your plan, you can send the invoice to your plan manager for payment or reimbursement, or claim as a self-manager.
