What do GPs need to know about the Early Childhood Approach?
23 Apr 2024
The Early Childhood Approach (formerly the Early Childhood Early Intervention – ECEI) service helps families with children up to eight years with assistance, advice and access to support in the local community.
If a child has a disability or if there are concerns with their development, families may be eligible to receive support from the NDIS through the Early Childhood Approach. Children up to six years with developmental delays or concerns do not need a diagnosis to be referred.
