childhood education and care needs of a child with a developmental delay or disability required by children of a similar age including through inclusion supports that enable children to participate in early childhood education and care settings; or

Child protection and family support

    7.11 The NDIS will be responsible for:

(a) supports for children, families and carers, required as a direct result of a child's disability, that enable families and carers to sustainably maintain their caring role, including community participation, therapeutic and behavioural supports and additional respite and aids and equipment; and

(b) where a child is in out-of-home care—supports specific to the child's disability (or developmental delay), which are additional to the needs of children of similar ages, in similar out-of-home care arrangements. The diversity of out-of-home care arrangements is recognised and the level of reasonable and necessary supports will reflect the circumstances of the individual child.

    7.12 The NDIS will not be responsible for:

(a) statutory child protection services required by families who have entered, or are at risk of entering, the statutory child protection system; or

Any supports funded by the NDIS will recognise the operational requirements and educational objectives of schools.

    7.14 The NDIS will not be responsible for personalising either learning or supports for students that primarily relate to their educational attainment (including teaching, learning assistance and aids, school building modifications and transport between school activities).

Higher education and vocational education and training
