Ideas we're exploring.
Two directions we're thinking about, both still at the idea stage. Your registration helps us gauge interest and shape what we build. No commitment, no waitlist fee, just an early signal.
The NLC Academy
Children 0–12 · Three service types · Used alone or combined
A structured child development program built around three service types that can be booked individually or combined into a package to suit your family. The concept blends practitioner-led support with online learning, so you can access expert guidance in the format that works for you — at home, online, or self-paced.
Hands-On Support
Practitioner-led home visits with parent coaching and online resources.
Practitioner-Guided
Scheduled video sessions with a practitioner plus full online library.
Self-Directed
On-demand access to learning modules, activities and developmental guides.
Why we're asking first: Building the Academy properly is a significant investment. Before we commit, we want to know families actually want this. Your registration directly influences whether (and how) this gets built.
Thriving Kids
A proposed Australian Government initiative we're watching closely
Thriving Kids is a proposed Australian Government initiative aimed at providing early support for children with developmental concerns or mild-to-moderate needs. It is intended to sit separately from the NDIS, with the stated goal of giving families faster, more flexible access to early intervention. The program is still being developed by government, and details around eligibility, access, funding and delivery are yet to be finalised.
Separate from NDIS
Intended as a distinct pathway, complementing rather than replacing NDIS for many families.
Lower-friction access
The stated aim is faster, simpler access to early childhood developmental support, though exact processes are yet to be confirmed.
Early support focus
Proposed to target children with developmental concerns or mild-to-moderate needs, especially in the early years.
We're following closely
NLC is monitoring developments and exploring how we may be able to support families through this initiative if and when provider arrangements are opened.
Stay informed: Register your interest below and we'll share updates as Thriving Kids takes shape, as eligibility and access details are confirmed by government, and as we learn more about how NLC may be able to help.
