Investment in building skills and knowledge in inclusive education
Disability Inclusion introduces initiatives to help build knowledge and skills in inclusive education across the school system.

The profile is a strengths-based process to help schools and families identify:
the student's strengths and needs
the educational adjustments schools can make to help students with disability.
Key people who understand the student’s education and support needs will complete the profile together.
This includes:
the student
their family
school staff and others, as appropriate.
A trained facilitator will help schools and families work together to discuss and capture the student’s strengths, needs and adjustments.
Disability Inclusion consists of:
a tiered funding model for students with disability, with 2 supplementary funding allocations (Tier 2 school-level funding and Tier 3 student-level funding) to support inclusive practice in schools
the Disability Inclusion Profile process to help schools and families detail the strengths, functional needs and educational adjustments schools are making for individual students with disability – this process will inform Tier 3 student-level funding allocations
initiatives to strengthen skills and knowledge in inclusive education across the school system
regional disability support roles and dedicated implementation teams.
For further information on the Disability Inclusion vision for inclusion, refer to: vision for inclusive education (PPTX).
Disability Inclusion funding model
Disability Inclusion funding model
The Disability Inclusion funding model has 3 tiers, based on the increasing level of need for educational adjustments and targeted support:
Tier 1 – Core student learning funding: funding for all students' core learning needs through the Student Resource Package (SRP). This funding includes students with disability and additional needs. Refer to: Core student learning allocation funding.
Tier 2 – School-level funding: additional funding to strengthen capacity and capability to deliver adjustments and inclusive practice for students with disability. Refer to the SRP – Disability Inclusion Tier 2 school-level funding for information on how funding is allocated, and the Guidance tab for Tier 2 funding implementation guidance.
Tier 3 – Student-level funding: additional funding to Tier 1 and 2, to support schools to deliver adjustments for individual students with complex and high needs. For information on how schools receive Tier 3 funding, refer to: Tier 3 student-level funding and SRP – Disability Inclusion Tier 3 school-level funding. For information on how to access Tier 3 funding, refer to: Disability Inclusion Profile.
Refer to the Disability Inclusion reform principal checklist (PPTX) for a guide to implementation.
