The NDIS Early Childhood approach supports children aged 0–9 with developmental delay or disability, and their families. It's based on the principle that early support has the greatest impact on a child's development.
Under ECEI, children access support through a local partner — usually an allied health practice or community organisation — without needing a formal NDIS plan at first.
For children with significant or permanent disability, an NDIS plan is developed. This funds therapy, specialist support, and other interventions tailored to the child's goals.
