External Service Providers

At Glenvale School, we often work closely with External Service Providers to ensure that students receive the support they need across all environments.

External Provider Approval

To proceed with providing therapy onsite at Glenvale School, please read the department of education guidelines (here) send through the following documentation as outlined below:

From your company we require:(if you're a sole trader, you will provide this)

5. Parent Request for Therapy Form

This form needs to be completed and signed by the student's parent/guardian. We’ll also be sending a hard copy home with the student, but a digital version is attached here for your reference. Please note that in light of recent changes in the DET, this form will be updated soon. https://online.schoolbytes.education/published_forms/10802/bd31e777-dacf-45d9-b517-b6a0b363bfda

6. Service Schedule

1. Please ensure that your SERVICE SCHEDULE matches the Parent Request for Therapy and the PLP Goals agreed on by teacher and parent: include Day/Time/duration under "service delivery schedule" and "Duration of service delivery" or write to be negotiated with by teacher. Include the wording "within line of sight of teacher" in location.

   7. Attachment B - Form #1 (Parent Consent): This form must be  signed by The student’s parent/guardian  and must be submitted on your company letterhead.

2. 8. After every session at school the  therapist is to complete Form #2 - Therapy Update Form.   The teacher will initial the completed form and then it will be handed in at the office.

Once all required documentation is received and reviewed, it will be forwarded to our principal for approval. If approval is granted, session days and times can then be arranged directly with the teacher at a time that suits the class.

To streamline the approval process, we recommend Allied Health Providers join the NSW Department of Education's Specialist Allied Health and Behaviour Support Provider Scheme.
