State Government appoints panel to improve education for students with disability

The Expert Panel's initial task will be to examine what has already been shared by children, their families and educators through the numerous inquiries, research papers and reports which have been completed to date across Australia. The panel will also consider what can be learned from other jurisdictions within Australia, as well as overseas.

Later this year, stakeholders including schools, families and other organisations will be engaged to test ideas for potential reforms to the School Education Act 1999 to strengthen access and inclusion for students with disability.

The panel will sit alongside the Developmental Disability WA Advisory Council, whose members are also guiding the review with their lived experience and advocacy expertise.
