The NDIS early childhood approach allows families and carers of children under nine who have a developmental concerns, developmental delay or disability to access timely, targeted and individualised early childhood support for their child. Northcott will be your first point of contact. We support families who wish to better understand their child’s support needs, identifying the most appropriate response to address those needs.
Early supports may include access to information, direct provision of early intervention strategies, family-based education and parenting support and linkages to community and mainstream services. If it is identified that a child would be better supported through an individual funded National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan, we can assist families through the access process.
