Early Childhood Intervention Best Practice Network

The Early Childhood Intervention Best Practice Network is a group of 19 not-for-profit child and family organisations that provide early childhood intervention services and/or early childhood education. Together, we support over 6,000 children in early childhood intervention under the NDIS and over 22,000 children and young people and their families annually in metropolitan and regional areas. While we primarily operate across NSW, we also have representation in Victoria and the ACT. We have come together to: - work together to understand the reform context; - use our collective experience to form views regarding impacts and opportunities with a solutions-focused and child and family-focused lens; - pursue an advocacy agenda that promotes best practice interventions, access, inclusion and equity for children and young people with developmental concerns, delays, differences and disabilities and their families. We seek to engage with broader stakeholder grounds including government, sector colleagues and families to create collaborative solutions.
