How to access the SDSS Program services

All services are provided at the request of the school, based on a prioritisation process and may provide local, regional and/or state-wide services. It is recommended that schools make direct contact with the organisation to discuss service provision at school.

The list of SDSS Program funded organisations provides details of organisations under each of the 3 funding categories.

The list of outreach for SDSS Program funded organisations​ provides information regarding the SDSS organisations that provide outreach services to schools.

Protocols for SDSS services

Protocols for SDSS services to schools have been developed to assist SDSS organisations to establish and maintain effective professional relationships with schools including initial contact and appointments.

Please note, the Non School Organisations (NSO) Program was replaced by the SDSS Program. The same distinctions apply regarding the NDIS.
