Year Ready program for children and young people

Event details

Date: January 2027

Event description

Vision Australia is excited to offer its Year Ready program these summer school holidays in Victoria, NSW and Queensland.

This program offers a chance for families to work collaboratively with our team members before a new learning year begins. These sessions allow us to review goal progress, set new goals, organise schedules of supports, ensure compliance is met and set expectations for the year.

The aim for these sessions it to ensure everyone is on the same page in relation to goals and funding, before the chaos of the year commences.

In preparation for a successful 2027, our Year Ready session will address the following:

• Celebrate 2026 goals and progress with your Vision Australia service provider. Our team will prepare a certificate of achievement, and you or your child can add accomplishments during the session.
• Set new goals for 2027, considering key milestones like starting school or casual work.
• Discuss NDIS plans, funding, renewal dates, and any necessary documentation.
• Note key dates for 2027 (NDIS meetings, school transitions, holidays).
• Explore additional Vision Australia supports that you may desire during 2026.
