Question details

The Disability Inclusion reform is designed to ensure every student of every ability thrives at school and in life. The Disability Inclusion Profile (profile) is a key part of the reform, helping schools and families identify the strengths, needs, and educational adjustments schools make to assist students with disability and additional learning needs. It may also inform Disability Inclusion Tier 3 student-level funding allocations to support schools to deliver adjustments for individual students with complex and high needs.

A diagnosis of disability or medical condition is not required to access the profile. The profile is available to a broad cohort of students with disability who are receiving educational adjustments and have an individual education plan and student support group in place. Students with Type 1 Diabetes are eligible to undertake the profile process if they meet these requirements.

Eligibility for Tier 3 student-level funding is determined based on the student’s functional needs and the adjustments in place to support the student’s participation and learning, rather than a diagnosis of disability or medical condition.
