Eligibility for Inclusion Support
The Child Care Service (CCS) may be eligible provided that the child for whom the funding support is required is from one of three eligibility groups:
- a child with a diagnosed disability,
- a child undergoing continuing assessment for a disability,
- or a humanitarian refugee child who demonstrates behaviours symptomatic of having experienced torture or trauma.
Documentary evidence for child eligibility may include:
- A Doctor's Diagnostic Report Form. This report must have been signed within the last 12 months
- Centrelink documentation stating a parent/s or guardian/s eligibility or approval for Carer's Allowance with respect to the child or evidence of a Health Care Card in the name of the child, marked with the disability code CD or DSP. An appointment letter for an assessment by a medical practitioner
- Documentary evidence of the child's humanitarian refugee status as identified by appropriate visa codes.
Please note: Due to guidelines changes this will need to be verified at the time that the Service Support Plan and the Inclusion Support Subsidy Application are being developed.
