In October 2024, the Legislative Council of NSW Parliament established a Select Committee to inquire into foundational and disability supports available for children and young people in NSW.
This inquiry examines the accessibility and effectiveness of services for children with disabilities in NSW, focusing on gaps in early intervention, diagnostics, workforce capacity, and cross-sector collaboration.
It emphasises best practices, cultural safety, and implementing recommendations from the NDIS Review and Disability Royal Commission to improve outcomes for children and families.
View the Inquiry’s Terms of Reference.
Supporting children and young people with disabilities in accessing equitable services is a key RACP priority. We recently shared feedback to the Department of Social Services on Foundational Supports for children with developmental concerns, disabilities, and their families.
We submitted detailed recommendations to the DSS through the RACP Submission - Foundational (General) Supports for People with Disability (PDF), including content focused on children and young people.
The NSW Inquiry presents a critical opportunity to address these issues at a state level. We encourage your feedback to help shape a more inclusive and effective system for children and families in NSW.
Your feedback will inform the RACP’s submission. All feedback received will be de-identified.
