Our commitment

The Department for Education, Children and Young People Tasmania supports the rights of children and young people with a disability to access education on the same basis as their peers.

Education Adjustment Disability Funding

The Education Adjustment Disability Funding Model is based on student needs and is guided by key principles. The model delivers resources to Tasmanian Government schools to support educational adjustments that they provide for students with disability. Educational adjustments are all the things that schools do to help a student with disability. We use adjustments to make sure that everyone can access, participate and engage on the same basis as their peers. The Department for Education, Children and Young People worked with an independent consultancy company, KPMG, to develop the Educational Adjustment model. The model was developed using both research and consultation. KPMG’s final report is available at Development of a Needs-Based Funding Model for Students with Disability – Final Report (PDF, 700KB).
