Externally funded health, disability and wellbeing service providers may seek to provide their services to students at the school during school hours. Access to the school by an externally funded provider is at the discretion of the principal.
This information sheet gives parents and carers advice about seeking approval for the delivery of NDIS-funded services at the school. It also summarises the matters the principal will consider when deciding whether or not to accommodate an NDIS-funded service at the school, and the ongoing responsibilities of parents and carers once the school has approved NDIS-funded services at the school.
A school’s decision to grant access to an externally funded provider is on a case-by-case basis, reflecting the educational needs of the individual student and school operational requirements.
Requests need to be made by submitting a competed Parent Request for External Providers form to the school.
