Inclusion Support Subsidy

From 1 January 2009, the Inclusion Support Subsidy (ISS) is administered nationally by KU Children’s Services, the National ISS Provider (NISSP). The ISS is paid to support children’s services to include children with high ongoing support needs so that they can be cared for in environments with typically developing peers. The ISS is a contribution towards the costs associated with employing an additional carer or educator. It is also a Capacity Payment made to Family Day Care educators and In-Home Carers in recognition of the additional care required by children with ongoing high support needs. The ISS is limited to a flat hourly rate, which is determined by the Department and is indexed annually.
