**About the Department**
The department provides a wide range of learning and development support and services.
The department provides policy leadership, plans for the future of education in Victoria and leads key cross-sector collaboration. The department plays an important system steward role by providing support, guidance, oversight and assurance across early childhood and school education systems, as well as directly providing school education and 50 new early learning centres.
**About the Division**
The Inclusive Education Division (IncED) has a central role in achieving the Education State Agenda by ensuring that all students will have access to the same quality education, regardless of their background or circumstance. This is reflective of our ambition to ensure students with disability and additional needs are engaged and active learners and are provided with the skills, knowledge and attributes they need to succeed in work and life. Specifically the purpose of the Division is to:
- Lead the Department's efforts to implement policy and programs and enhance service delivery to improve educational and wellbeing outcomes for children and young people with disability and additional needs.
- Focus on how the education system can better support children and young people with disability. This includes implementation of inclusive education reforms and oversight of the Government's $1.6 billion Disability Inclusion reform.
- Work across the Department and other government departments and agencies to develop and lead policy and initiatives to maximise the access, participation supported transition and achievement of children and young people with disability and additional needs.
- Build the capability of regional and school-based staff to improve inclusive education frameworks, interventions and practices within regions, schools and early childhood settings. This includes Student Support Services, behaviour, trauma and mental health.
**About the Role**
This role is based in the NDIS & Strategic Projects Team in the Inclusive Education Division. The NDIS and Strategic Projects Unit leads programs and strategic projects that support current government directions and initiatives in relation to inclusive education. The Unit has a specific role in managing the Department's ongoing relationship with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and managing National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) related projects, including the department's engagement with the NDIS Review.
The Program Advisor will contribute towards the delivery of departmental programs and initiatives by providing guidance and strategic support. This work will involve liaising with internal and external stakeholders to gather information and respond to queries, monitoring and reporting on implementation, supporting the development of reports and briefing materials, and the preparation and sending of correspondence.
Programs and initiatives supported by the Program Advisor will change to respond to the priorities of the team. The initial focus will be on supporting:
- implementation of the NDIS Navigator initiative including design, monitoring, analysis and project management
- reporting and coordination of the Department of Education's response to the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability (Disability Royal Commission)
- administration of the Early Childhood Intervention - Continuity of Support program.
