Disability Inclusion Transition Funding
Disability Inclusion Transition Funding supports schools to transition to the new Disability Inclusion approach, giving schools and families more confidence to engage with the Disability Inclusion Profile process.
Disability Inclusion Transition Funding gives schools greater budget certainty to plan for and provide adjustments for Program for Students with Disabilities (PSD) eligible students as they transition to Disability Inclusion.
Summary of Disability Inclusion Transition Funding settings
Disability Inclusion Transition Funding applies to scenarios where a PSD-eligible student completes a Disability Inclusion Profile that results in a Tier 3 funding allocation at a rate lower than PSD funding allocation. Under these conditions, Disability Inclusion Transition Funding provides for the difference between the PSD allocation and the Tier 3 allocation, ensuring continuity of funding.
Schools do not need to complete any additional documentation to receive Disability Inclusion Transition Funding: the funding will be applied automatically through a line item in schools’ budgets where appropriate.
Timeframes
Disability Inclusion Transition Funding for level 5 or level 6 PSD-eligible students will continue to apply state-wide for these students until they complete their schooling.
Disability Inclusion Transition Funding for level 1 to 4 PSD-eligible students was time-limited until the end of 2024.
