Early Childhood Intervention at a glance
What's included
Therapy and supports for children under 9 with developmental delay or disability.
On FindMyHelp you can compare providers who describe how they deliver early childhood intervention, their service area, and what a typical visit or engagement includes.
Funding and how to pay
These services are specific to the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Eligibility and funding categories depend on your plan and goals.
NDIS funding depends on your plan and whether the support is reasonable and necessary for your disability-related needs. Self-managed and plan-managed participants can often use registered or unregistered providers; NDIA-managed plans generally require NDIS-registered providers.
How to compare providers
When comparing early childhood intervention providers:
- Ask about experience relevant to your situation and funding type
- Check service area, wait times, and staff continuity
- Confirm how they invoice NDIS, Support at Home, or private clients
- Compare how clearly they explain what is included in their service
