Three pages. Everything on them is quoted from the education
department that published it, with that department's own date
beside it.
Page one — the comparison
All eight jurisdictions against the four questions that
actually differ: who may make the request, the stated
insurance minimums, the instrument you sign, and the
published decision clock.
It is the page that catches the fork most likely to cost
you. Queensland:
NDIS providers cannot make requests for access directly
to the school.
Western Australia:
Providers can only make a direct request if they have the
consent of the parent or carer.
[S8, S10]
Run the WA play in Queensland and you have broken the
process on step one.
Page two — the folder and the refusal
The clearance, training and ID each department wants before
session one, and what the published policy still requires of
a principal who says no.
Including the counterweight that survives a refusal: schools
remain legally obliged to provide reasonable adjustments
regardless of whether a student also receives NDIS support.
[S1]
That is a better thing to raise with a family than a
grievance.
Page three — what it does not settle
The gaps, named as gaps rather than quietly omitted. The
Northern Territory and the ACT are marked
unestablished. We could not retrieve a
published provider-access procedure for either, so the sheet
says so and names the department to ask instead of guessing.
The insurance figures no department publishes are left
visibly blank rather than filled with a neighbouring state's
number.
Every source behind this sheet governs
government schools only. Catholic and
independent systems set their own policies and we did not read
them. The source pages span 2022 to 2026, so check the date on
any row before you rely on it. Every one of those sources is
already
listed and linked on this site for free. The sheet is the comparison, compressed.
