Supporting Your Child’s Learning Journey
Understanding Your Child’s Learning Journey, Rights, and Inclusion
We empower you as a parent or carer to understand your child’s learning journey, including their rights to inclusion in all educational and community settings. We help you navigate how these rights apply to your child, making sure they are included in both learning and community activities.

- Recognising inclusion rights – Educating families on the rights of children with disabilities to be included in all educational and community settings, whether mainstream, specialist, or alternative education.
- Navigating the education and community systems – Providing guidance on how to access and understand the resources, supports, and services available across education systems, including mainstream schools, specialist settings, home-schooling, and community programs.
