The Preschool Field Officer (PSFO) program is a crucial position targeted and time-limited capacity-building program.

All Victorian funded kindergarten programs are eligible to receive PSFO service to support the access, inclusion and participation of children with additional needs in a kindergarten program.

Preschool field officers (PSFOs) use a locally responsive approach that includes consultative support, resourcing, and practical advice to assist early childhood educators across the municipality.


The PSFO position sits within our children's services unit and will be supported by the children's services leadership team as well as other internal council units.

The PSFO role would be a great fit for an individual who is committed to ensuring kindergarten programs meet the needs of all children by providing support and guidance to our community.

The role is to support and guide early childhood educators to provide high quality programs that support the inclusion of children with additional needs which may include:

  • provision of information and resources, and identification of adaptations, strategies, and experiences to inform programming for a child with additional needs
- identification of a child with additional needs through contributing to the assessment of the child's capabilities as well as their learning and development needs
- supporting early childhood educator's confidence and capacity to respond to a parent's concerns regarding their child's development
- provision of planning support that respects and complements the educator's expertise in supporting children's learning and development
- coaching of an educator to assist with planning and implementation of an inclusive kindergarten program that supports a child with additional needs
- building professional partnerships and collaborative relationships with educators
- modelling of specific skills, suggestions, and strategies with educators
- assistance to embed child specific teaching and learning approaches and opportunities into the everyday kindergarten environment
- identification of referral pathways and facilitation of linkages for families to the range of child and family supports, including more specialised assessment and services, when required.

A Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood is required, with experience in planning and delivering high quality, inclusive kindergarten programs. Additional qualifications or experience working in early intervention and current VIT registration is highly desirable.
