Inclusion Support Program – Inclusion Agency update

Inclusion Agencies have been confirmed for the Inclusion Support Program (ISP) from 1 July 2026.

Inclusion Agencies work with early childhood education and care (ECEC) services to identify and address barriers to inclusion.

From 1 July 2026, the Inclusion Agency in each state and territory will be:

  • KU Children’s Services – NSW, ACT and QLD
  • Gowrie South Australia – SA
  • It Takes a Village (ITAV) – VIC
  • One Tree (Inclusion Support West) – WA
  • Early Childhood Australia (ECA) – NT
  • Lady Gowrie Tasmania – TAS

These providers were selected through a competitive process.  

The updated approach strengthens how Inclusion Agencies work with services, while maintaining continuity across the sector.

Services will continue to receive support, with a greater focus on:

  • targeted assistance for services that need it most  
  • building capability and confidence in inclusive practice  
  • more flexible ways of delivering support.
