The Inclusion Support Program is the Federal
Government program that supplies children’s services with
practical advice and support in including children with additional
needs into a quality child care environment.
18 Inclusion Support Agencies (ISA’s)
are funded in NSW to work directly with children’s services
to provide practical advice and facilitate access to a range of
supports designed to build services’ capacity to create
a quality care environment inclusive of all children.
Children’s
Services Central can offer some advice about inclusive
practices, but specialist information on Inclusion
Support Subsidy and Flexible
Support Funding is best sought from Inclusion
Support Agencies.
The
Bicultural Support Pool can be accessed through Children’s
Services Central.
