Therapy at Mary Brooksbank School
If families would like therapy to take place at school, written requests must come to the school from parents or carers first. Therapy goals also need to be clearly defined with collaboration from parents/carers, therapists and the school.
Below is a link to the Procedures for the provision of therapy at school, which outlines the expectations of the school, parents and carers and external providers. The documentation that is required can be found by the following links below.
1. Procedures
2. Provider checklist (mandatory requirements to be met and documents to be provided)
3. Engagement Agreement and Service Schedule
5. Parent Request and Exchange of Information
6. Working With Children Check Declaration
In addition, you need to provide the following documentation:
- WWCC number
- Current certified copies of policies for Workers Comp, Professional Indemnity and Public Liability
- Proof of Identity - 100 Points of ID
- Certificate for the Department's Mandatory Child Protection See link below:

All documentation should be emailed to marybrooks-s.school@det.nsw.edu.au
Once all documentation is received, a meeting will be arranged between the principal and therapist to discuss how and when therapy will be delivered at school. External providers will be required to attend the Personalised Learning and Support Plan (PLSP) meeting for the student prior to commencing therapy at school. If this is not possible, a meeting must be held with the class teacher to discuss the student's current goals.
