NDCOs
The Australian Government’s $18.3 million National Disability Coordination Officer (NDCO) program targets the barriers that people with a disability face in gaining access to, and successfully completing, post-school education and training, through a comprehensive national network of 31 National Disability Coordination Officers.
The NDCO program works toward the Australia-wide coordination and delivery of transition services for people with a disability who are at, or who will be attending university, vocational education and training or another training organisation.
The NDCO program’s goals are to:
- Improve transitions to help people with a disability from school or community into post-school education and training and subsequent employment.
- Increase participation by people with a disability in higher education, vocational education and training and employment.
- Establish better links between schools, universities, TAFEs, training providers and disability service providers so that they can work together to provide the best possible assistance for people with a disability.
A list of providers for each of the 7 NDCO Service Regions in Victoria is provided below.
