The Victorian Government website provides information and services for families of children living with disability and additional needs. They may also be able to provide you with extra support for children with additional needs in early childhood.

You can borrow from a vast array of well-made toys that have been designed to support your child’s skill development and imagination. Toy libraries aim to support families and encourage togetherness with quality time spent playing with children.

If your child is an eligible rural student or student with special needs they may be able to access free transport assistance to travel to and from school on contracted school buses.

The Students with Disabilities Transport Program (SDTP) can help with travel and transport for eligible students who go to specialist and integrated schools. It can also assist you with the additional costs to your family.

If your child has a disability that prevents independent travel and attends a specialist school, or you are unable to arrange transport to and from school you may be able to access support.

SpeakUP can help young students build skills and confidence to participate at school and achieve their goals.

The NT Government website has information about special education, support services, specialist schools and centres.

If your child has a disability or learning difficulty, you can access specialised teaching and learning materials and services to help support their learning.

If your child is eligible, this service can help them get from home to the closest appropriate school setting and from school to home (or respite / after school care depending on availability).

The Department of Education offers a range of free OnLine Training courses for all school based staff across NT Government, Catholic and Independent Schools. The courses are suitable for those who work in schools and specialist settings, such as teachers, learning and support teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders.
