The Australian Government has started to implement their Coronavirus Emergency Response Plan. The aim of this plan is to reduce
     the risk of the Coronavirus spreading from person to person in Australia.
 
    The NSW/ACT Inclusion Agency is limiting face to face contact at this time to help keep everyone safe. We will continue to support  
    services and educators by responding to all inclusion requests via email, phone appointments and Skype meetings. Inclusion
    Professionals continue to be available to support you.
 
    Please continue to contact your Inclusion Professional for any support required.

   Children's Voices

     The NSW/ACT Inclusion Agency has embarked on an exciting project which seeks and listens to children’s  
     voices about inclusion.                                                                                                                                                
     We are eager to hear from and reflect the child’s perspective in our work supporting inclusive practice.

     A range of inclusion-related interviews with children from across NSW
     and the ACT will be shared throughout the  year on our Children's Voices  
     page of this website.
     So far we have asked some children to share their thoughts about Difference and Australia Day. To read what       they had to say  click here
