Requesting External Services

Morisset Public School provides access to external providers to support our student's learning and development.

Providers do not have an automatic right of access to a school. Any request for access to a student by an external provider funded by the NDIS (or other scheme that provides funding to individuals) must come from the student’s parent or carer in writing.

Providers, please read the Fact sheet for providers on mandatory child protection roles and responsibilities from the Department of Education.

Parents, please read the Parent and Carer Fact Sheet from the Department of Education.

It remains the parent's responsibility to advise providers if their child will be absent from school or if there is a school activity on the day of support. Bell times can be found here

There is an External Provider Checklist with the documents and requirements for external providers.  Please read this checklist in full and ensure each and every check/requirement is met before submitting any documents to the school. These requirements/checks are from the Department of Education.

The External Provider Engagement Agreement has changed from last year. Please use the new Externally Funded Service Providers Agreement.   NOTE: Attachment B Form 1 is to be signed by the student's parent.

Step 1:

Parents please fill in a Parent/Carer Request Form  and return to the office.
