NDIS EXTERNAL PROVIDER INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES

We are doing what we can to support families with the NDIS process. As a school, we provide the following:

• A letter for families to include in their NDIS application to support the process;
• With parental consent:
  • observation of the student in the classroom by an external Allied Professional engaged by the student’s family (external provider);
  • Communication between school staff and external providers, where appropriate and applicable.

DET guidelines indicate that for an external provider to meet with a student on a school site, the student requires staff supervision (for Duty of Care). As a result, the following is not possible at Rosamond School in or outside of school hours:

• 1:1 student sessions, such as therapy, counselling, etc... with an external provider;
• Provision of a space for an external provider to meet with a student 1:1.
