An Update on Foundational Supports

An Update on Foundational Supports

As your peak body, Fams is here to make sure our sector’s voice is heard and valued.

The NSW Government is consulting on how and when Foundational Supports could roll out across the state.

  • Fams continues to represent our sector through the NSW Advisory Group on Foundational Supports for Children.
    • While not a decision-making body, it helps shape direction across a breadth of topics.
    • Discussion topics include things like getting the right mix of services in the right places at the right time.
  • Community consultations for parents, carers and kin, people with disability and people working in early intervention and prevention services will run from August to November 2025.

As the conversation evolves, Fams advocates for a system that is not only effective but truly reflective of the people it is designed to serve.
