Aims to remove the barriers to access for children with additional needs. This is achieved through the Inclusion Support Agencies (ISAs), Inclusion Support Subsidy (ISS) & Flexible Support Funding.

The target groups for inclusion support are:

• Children with disabilities, including children with ongoing high support needs
• Children from culturally & linguistically diverse backgrounds
• Children from a refugee or humanitarian intervention background
• Indigenous children.
• The objective of the ISA is to promote & maintain high quality, inclusive education & care for all children, including those with ongoing high support needs, in eligible early childhood education & care settings. This is achieved by increasing the knowledge & skills of educators & the capacity of education & care services, through providing professional development, advice & access to additional resources as well as inclusion support.
