At Eglinton Beach Primary School, we recognise that therapy provides support, intervention, and access to key skills for growth and individual success. To achieve this success, collaboration, and communication is required from the school, families and allied professionals, to ensure we are working towards a common goal.

When accessing therapy during school hours, there are a chain of documents and processes which are required before therapy can begin. No therapy will occur within the first 4 weeks of term one, as this is essential time for staff to form relationships with the students, and for pre-therapy documents to be processed. This process is outlined below, and varies slightly for at school and off-site therapy.

As per the Departments requirements, all therapy must be initiated by the family, not the therapist. This is done through contacting the school for a Parent/Carer Request form (link below), completing the details, and returning to the school. This will then be reviewed, and the family will be notified if the therapy can proceed during school hours.

If you have any questions around Therapy Providers in school, please see the Therapy Providers Procedures document below or contact for more information.
