Lead Article - Team Around the Child at work in Australia

Sue Davies

The basis of the innovative, service delivery model developed by Kurrajong Early Intervention Service (KEIS) is the family-centred, transdisciplinary teamwork of the Team-Around-the-Child (TAC) approach developed in the UK. As there has been limited research into early childhood intervention models in Australia, the project, named the Rural Beginnings Project, has significant implications for future practice. This paper will outline the research base behind KEIS's early childhood intervention model and will show how an early intervention service in Australia has made the TAC approach work in both regional and smaller rural areas in Australia.
