Innovative program
For the client, Include-ED is a post-schooling program that runs one day per week (Wednesdays) in three six-week blocks over 12 months, funded via NDIS healthcare service fees. It provides an opportunity for school-leavers to engage with age-matched peers in a university environment while improving essential independent living skills, mobility, communication, vocational opportunities, and overall health and wellness.
For Griffith Allied Health students, Include-ED provides invaluable, hands-on clinical experience at Griffith Health Clinics. As NDIS funding is projected to become the largest third-party funder of health services in the coming decades, this program equips students with the essential skills and confidence to effectively support and manage individuals accessing NDIS services, ensuring they graduate job-ready.
This program costs $120 per day with a commitment to attend all dates. Invoices can be broken into health discipline providers if needed for funding requirements. Prices are subject to change.
