KU Inclusion Support Agencies
What are Inclusion Support Agencies?
Inclusion Support Agencies (ISAs) are funded under the Inclusion Support Program to provide child care services with practical support that will help build their capacity to provide a quality inclusive environment for children with additional needs.
Children with additional needs are those from the following priority groups:
- Children with a disability, including children with high support needs
- Children from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds
- Children with a refugee or humanitarian intervention background who have been subjected to torture and trauma, either in their country of origin or during their refugee experience
- Indigenous children
What kinds of support do ISAs provide?
ISAs are responsible for the provision of support to child care services that includes practical advice and access to a range of supports designed to strengthen the service's ability to create a quality care environment inclusive of all children.
Inclusion Support Facilitators (ISFs) visit eligible child care services to provide assistance with developing Service Support Plans, facilitating access to Specialist Equipment, General Resources Library, professional support, funding through Flexible Support Funding or Inclusion Support Subsidy, and Bicultural Support
