Thriving Kids autism service causing ‘significant anxiety’, Labor MP warns, and may need changing

A hearing into the government’s proposed ‘Thriving Kids’ program for children with “mild to moderate” developmental delays and autism has returned few answers about how it is intended to work.

Labor MPs on the committee have noted that the lack of detail is causing anxiety among families.

What’s next? An advisory group that met for the first time this week will guide what services are available under Thriving Kids.
