The department has updated the assessment process for the Kindergarten Inclusion Support (KIS) program to make it easier for funded kindergarten services to get the support they need.
From Monday 7 October 2024, we are asking all services to submit their KIS applications online, for assessment by Australian Healthcare Associates.
Please ensure you upload any future applications on the KIS applications website.
If you need assistance or to discuss alternative submission arrangements, please contact the KIS application support team using the details listed below.
About the KIS program
The KIS program offers support for funded kindergarten services to enable greater inclusion of children with disability, developmental delay or complex medical needs.
With this process change, we aim to improve the application process for services.
There is no change to KIS eligibility criteria. Services can still contact KIS providers in their area to seek support with KIS applications.
