The Inclusion and Professional

Support Program

 The ACT Professional Support Coordinator is part of the Inclusion and Professional Support Program, an integrated and nationally consistent approach to meeting the professional and inclusion support needs of eligible children's services, funded by the Australian Government Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.

The outcomes of the Inclusion and Professional Support Program are to:

• Promote and maintain high quality care and inclusion for all children in eligible child care services, by increasing the skill level of carers and service staff in line with nationally consistent priorities; and

• Provide eligible children's services regardless of geographic location with access to quality professional support that is appropriate, relevant and timely.
