What is the Inclusion Support Program?
The Inclusion Support Program (ISP) began in July 2016.
The main objectives of the ISP are to:
- Support services to improve their capacity and capability to provide quality inclusive practices, address participation barriers and include children with additional needs and
- Provide parents and carers of children with additional needs with access to appropriate services that assist those parents to participate in the workforce.
The ISP consists of three key elements:
- Inclusion Agencies in each state and territory – an Inclusion Agency is contracted to assist eligible services build their capacity and capability to provide and embed inclusive practice in their delivery of education and care programs.
- Inclusion Development Fund (IDF) – the IDF provides funding to assist eligible services to address a barrier to inclusion that cannot be addressed by the support provided by an Inclusion Agency.
- Inclusion Development Fund Manager – a single national Inclusion Development Fund Manager is contracted to provide nationally consistent and equitable management of the IDF through assessing applications for funding and communicating outcomes to services.
