Program name

Early Childhood Development

Service provided

This program aims to maximise vulnerable children and families’ opportunities in accessing and remaining engaged with universal and secondary early years’ services. This is achieved through two key objectives:

• Systemic improvement for vulnerable children (0-5 years) through developing and enhancing partnerships between TOD/Family Services and universal and secondary early years’ services.
• Service enhancements for vulnerable children (0-5 years) through developing and facilitating targeted capacity building activities to enhance family services and early years’ practitioner skills in assessing, planning, and responding to vulnerable early childhood developmental needs.

Eligibility criteria

The target group is vulnerable families with children (0-5 years) who are:

• likely to experience greater challenges as the child’s development has been affected by the experience of risk factors and/or cumulative harm; and/or
• at risk of concerns escalating and becoming involved with Child Protection if problems are not addressed.
