The NSW/ACT Inclusion Agency team are deeply saddened by the bushfire
emergency which is having a profound impact across our state and territory. We have
put this newsletter together to share some tips and resources to support educators
at this time. This list of resources and tips is not exhaustive, and educators are
encouraged to use these resources as appropriate to your specific circumstances.

Our thoughts are with all educators at this difficult time. Some educators may
have been personally affected. Some services are located in a fire danger zone or
impacted by hazardous air quality. Many educators have been affected indirectly by
experiencing the ongoing tragic news shared over recent months. We hope the
enclosed information will support educators, children and families through this
challenging period.

An Inclusion Professional will be in touch with you to offer support to your service.
Educators are always able to contact us with any immediate questions or needs.
