Parents, carers and kin across Western Australia are invited to play a vital role in shaping how the Thriving Kids program is designed and delivered.

Thriving Kids is a national initiative designed to provide additional support for children aged 0–8 years (inclusive) with developmental delay and/or autism with low to moderate support needs, along with their families and carers. It aims to ensure children and families can access appropriate supports to help them in their everyday lives.

Kiind is working with the Department of Communities to host a series of consultation sessions to better understand the experiences, needs, and priorities of WA families. Your insights will directly inform how Thriving Kids supports children and families across the state.

These sessions are a valuable opportunity to have your voice heard. We are seeking a diverse range of perspectives that reflect the unique experiences of parenting in WA.

We encourage expressions of interest from:

- Parents, carers and kin of children aged 0-8 years
- Parents, carers and kin whose child recently engaged with early intervention services
- Families living in regional and remote areas
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families
- People from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds

What’s involved?

- Attend one session, with multiple online options and flexible times available during the school term
- Option to participate in-person in Kalgoorlie
- All participants who attend an online or in-person session will be eligible for paid participation to the value of $100

We are currently inviting expressions of interest. Please complete the form and indicate your preferred session times. If selected, we will be in touch to confirm your place.

Your feedback is essential in helping design a service that truly meets the needs of WA families.
