澳大利亚将在10月启动"蓬勃发展儿童计划"，为0至8岁的发育迟缓和自闭症儿童提供基础支持服务1。该计划由州、领地和联邦政府共同资助，但仅针对低至中等支持需求的儿童1。
这一新计划留下了明显的支持缺口。卫生部文件估计，151,240名18岁及以下、不符合国家残障保险计划资格的发育迟缓和自闭症儿童将受到影响1。对于9岁及以上超龄蓬勃发展儿童计划但不符合国家残障保险计划资格的儿童，联邦政府尚未宣布将提供何种支持以及资金来源1。南澳大利亚自2024年在57所小学开展自我调节服务计划，为这一群体提供试点支持1。
Australia's new Thriving Kids initiative will launch in October to provide foundational support services for children aged 0–8 years with developmental delays and autism, with funding shared across state, territory, and federal governments 1. However, the program is designed only for children with low to moderate support needs within this age bracket, creating a significant gap for older children who do not qualify for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) 1.
According to Health Department estimates, approximately 151,240 young people aged 18 and under with developmental delays or autism will remain ineligible for the NDIS and exceed the age limit for Thriving Kids 1. The federal government has not yet announced what support or funding will be available for children aged 9 and above who fall outside both programs 1. South Australia has begun piloting a self-regulation services program across 57 primary schools since 2024, offering one potential model for addressing this need 1.
