Non-State Special Needs Organisations Program

Purpose

The Non-State Special Needs Organisations (NSSNO) Program provides funding to organisations to deliver educational services and resources that enhance the participation, inclusion and outcomes of primary and secondary students with special needs in their educational setting.

Eligibility

Organisations eligible for funding have been approved by government, based on government service needs.

Accountability

Each organisation funded through the NSSNO Program must provide educational and financial accountability annually to the Department of Education. The accountability documentation is reviewed by the department to ensure that the NSSNO funding has been expended appropriately and that each organisation is delivering the services outlined in their service agreement.
