An Inclusion Support Facilitator

Inclusion Support Facilitators (ISFs) provide practical advice and facilitate access to a range of supports designed to strengthen the service's ability to create a quality care environment inclusive of all children. These supports include, but are not limited to, providing onsite assistance with Service Support Plans (SSPs) facilitating access to specialist equipment, general resources library, training and funding through Flexible Support Funding (FSF), Inclusion Support Subsidy (ISS), Bicultural Support Program (BSP) and the Professional Support Coordinator (PSC).

Inclusion Support Facilitators are employed by Inclusion Support Agencies for their knowledge and understanding of child development, the philosophy of inclusion, reflective and inclusive practices, the strength based approach and other relevant skills and experience.  Inclusion Support Facilitators work directly with eligible child care services to build their capacity to create an environment inclusive of all children, including those with additional needs.
