A Q&A session with Sylvana Mahmic, Plumtree CEO
Join us for a relaxed and informative online conversation with Sylvana Mahmic about the changes ahead and what they may mean for families of young children who need early support.
This is a chance to hear what’s known so far, what might change over time, and what is not changing, especially for children already receiving support through the NDIS or other services.
Parents and carers will leave with up-to-date information, links to trusted resources, and language that can help make sense of the changes and feel confident when speaking with others about your child’s support.
What we’ll cover
- An overview of the Thriving Kids model: what it is based on official information
- Key dates and what’s happening when
- What stays the same for children aged birth to 8 years and families already in the NDIS
- How the focus on early support and building family confidence may look in everyday life
- The role of peer support and why it matters for families
- Where to find reliable information and how to stay informed
There will be time for questions at the end of the session.
As this is a conversational session with plenty of Q&A, we won’t be recording it in order to protect the privacy and confidentiality of families attending.
