Inclusive education

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the draft amendments to the Education and Children’s Services Act 2019 (the Act) and the Education and Children's Services Regulations 2020 (the Regulations). 

This survey asks for your views about some of the specific changes proposed in the Education and Children's Services (Inclusive Education) Amendment Bill 2025 (the Amendment Bill) and the Education and Children's Services (Exclusionary Discipline) Amendment Regulations 2025 (the Amendment Regulations). We recommend reading the Explanatory Paper, the Amendment Bill and the Amendment Regulations before you answer the questions.

The proposed changes aim to support inclusive education and fairness and reduce discrimination and exclusion for students with disability. The changes endeavour to support greater transparency through data collection and reporting about enrolment and the use of exclusionary discipline for students with disability. The changes also support the provision of accessible information for students with disability and their families in relation to the use of exclusionary discipline.

The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. You can skip a question if you do not want to answer.

All responses will be considered as part of this consultation.
