Inclusive decision-making | 2025 Review of the Disability Standards for Education

Inclusive decision-making happens when students with disability, and their families and carers, are consulted and involved in the decisions being made about their education. This includes being supported through complaints handling.

We want your ideas about:

what works well to involve and consult with students with disability, families and carers

how to improve the way students with disability, families and carers are consulted and supported through complaints handling

how we could help education providers consult with students to make decisions
