Important Notice for OTs Wanting to Work in NSW Government Schools

The NSW Department of Education is calling for expressions of interest as it seeks to establish a Specialist Allied Health Service to Schools – Pre-Qualification Scheme.

The Scheme will comprise a panel of pre-qualified external providers and is intended to support NSW government schools across the state to meet their legal obligations to students with disability by facilitating quick and easy access to specialist allied health services where needed to enable school access, attendance and participation.

Schools will use the scheme to select their preferred suppliers and the aim of the scheme is to establish an arrangement for engagement under the NSW Human Services framework to reduce red tape for providers and simplify the engagement process for schools.

Services are expected to be available under the Scheme commencing term one 2020.
