The school is seeking my consent to share information about my child with the external service provider (“the Contractor”), and requires this permission before any services can be considered or delivered at school.
I understand that this request does not guarantee that the service provider will automatically be approved to work with my child at school.
I understand and respect that the Principal, Learning and Support Team and School Counsellor will make the final decision about whether external or NDIS-funded supports can be delivered at school and during school time.
I understand that certain documents must be provided to the school by my child’s provider before supports are delivered at school. These may include (but are not limited to): a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC), current insurance documents (if required), a completed and signed External Provider Engagement Agreement, completion of a site induction in line with school and Department procedures.
If I wish to withdraw my consent for the provider to support my child at school, or if I choose to change providers, I can do so by contacting the school in writing.
I understand that it is my responsibility to organise and confirm session times directly with the provider, and that the school does not schedule, confirm, or coordinate therapy appointments on my behalf.
I consent to the school collecting and sharing information with the Contractor. This may include personal and health details about my child, such as the nature and implications of their disability, learning needs and/or medical condition(s), where this is relevant to their support at school.
I understand that the purpose of sharing this information is to assist the school in arranging and providing appropriate support for my child during school hours and school-related activities.
I understand that the school may decline, postpone, or discontinue external provider access if sessions impact learning time, safety, supervision, behaviour support, or school operations, or if they are inconsistent with Department of Education guidelines.
I understand that relevant school staff may discuss this information with Department of Education personnel to ensure appropriate care, safety and support for my child.
I understand that the school will not share this information with any third parties except where required by law or in accordance with the Department’s legal obligations.
As a parent/carer, I can request access to information that has been provided by the Contractor and stored by the school.
I understand that the school will manage and store this information in line with the Department of Education’s guidelines and legal obligations for privacy and information handling.
I understand that it is my responsibility to notify the provider if my child will be absent from school or participating in another school activity (excursion, carnival, special event) at the time they are scheduled to receive support.
