VIC Kindergarten inclusion program's specialised equipment trial begins

Funding for specialised kindergarten equipment for children with disabilities was previously available under the Victorian Government's Flexible Support Packages program, which has now transitioned to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

As inclusion supports related to educational settings are excluded from NDIS funding, this specialised equipment trial will ensure supports are available for children with significant disabilities to access a funded kindergarten program and achieve positive learning outcomes.

KIS SET enables the greater inclusion of children with significant disabilities in a Victorian Government funded kindergarten program, alongside their typically developing peers, so that all children can achieve positive learning outcomes.

Specialised equipment under KIS SET is available for loan, at no cost, to Victorian Government funded kindergarten programs to support children with significant disabilities.
