Post school funding - Department of Communities - Disability and Community Care Services

The Department of Communities - Disability and Community Care Services provides post school services to assist school leavers with disabilities to experience a range of options and opportunities as they move towards establishing a life after school. This support allows school leavers and their families to plan for the future.

Department of Communities - Disability and Community Care Services connects people with funded service providers that can assist students to set and realise their goals.

Some goals may include:

• strengthening communication skills
• learning how to use a computer or to catch public transport independently
• developing social skills, enhancing social interaction and community awareness
• maintaining and developing daily living skills and life skills.
