About Developmental Delay / Global Developmental Delay

Developmental delay occurs when a child does not reach developmental milestones at the expected times. It can affect one or more areas: speech and language, motor skills, cognitive development, social and emotional development, and self-care skills. The NDIS provides early intervention supports for children under 9 with developmental delay, and ongoing supports where the delay is significant and permanent.

Key NDIS supports for developmental delay

Priority NDIS supports for developmental delay include speech pathology for language development, occupational therapy for motor skills and sensory processing, physiotherapy for gross motor development, psychology for behaviour and social skills, early childhood intervention programs, and support workers for family support and community inclusion.

Choosing a developmental delay provider

Look for providers experienced in paediatric intervention, who use evidence-based early intervention approaches, offer family-centred practice that empowers parents and carers, can work in natural settings (home, childcare, school), collaborate across disciplines, and provide regular progress monitoring with clear goals.

💡 NDIS plan tips for developmental delay

The NDIS Early Childhood Approach provides supports for children aged 0–9 with developmental delay without requiring a formal diagnosis.
