Externally funded service providers at Mary Brooksbank School
The NSW Department of Education and the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) recommend that therapy services funded through a child’s NDIS support plan are best delivered outside of school time. This allows the school to focus on teaching and ensures your child does not miss out on important learning time.
However, there are some circumstances where therapy is best delivered at school. If you wish to have a therapist provide a service at Mary Brooksbank School, please follow the proces below:
For parents
1. Please read the information for parents and carers requesting a NDIS-funded therapy service for your child at a NSW public school
2. Complete a request form for external provider services to be delivered at Mary Brooksbank School and return to the school office.
