Sometimes families or NDIS providers may ask Principals if an external provider can deliver NDIS services for a student at school, during school time.
Principals have the ultimate decision-making authority about who comes onto a school site. When Principals review a request like this, there are things they must consider. If they approve the request, Principals will contact the family, and the NDIS provider will need to complete an NDIS Engagement Agreement.
What Principals must consider when reviewing a request to provide NDIS services at school
The key guidance documents Principals use are:
- NDIS Providers in Schools Policy and Procedure
- NDIS Factsheet for Principals for reviewing requests.
Principals can contact the NDIS team for more advice, by emailing: NDIS.support@education.tas.gov.au.
