BUSHkids 2017-18 Annual Report

Events

BUSHkids launched NDIS early childhood services across Central and North Queensland at the end of July 2018, with the official opening of our Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) service centres in Rockhampton, Gladstone and Emerald. The launch of our ECEI services was a great success, attracting considerable media attention and creating further awareness of the work BUSHkids is doing across rural, regional and remote Queensland communities.
