Get the right start in life
School leavers and students
Being prepared can provide the right start to your future.
We provide support to parents and carers to offer students the best opportunities while they’re still in school. Providing school leavers the right level of support ensures your goals can be achieved.
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
