DfE Early Intervention Support Referral (SA only)

DfE refers to Department of Education and is a sub-set of funding through the South Australian Department of Education under the Children and Students with Disability Program Grants for non-government organisations.

Funding is administered on behalf of the Minister for Education by the Department of Education (DfE), and is part of the SA State Government education funding grants.

The Benevolent Society currently provides DfE funded services to a range of Early Learning Centres, Pre-schools and Kindergartens across metropolitan Adelaide, and in regional towns located in proximity to our offices in Port Pirie, Murray Bridge and Mount Gambier.

If you have or know a child with a disability who would benefit from assistance, please complete this referral form. You may download and email the paper based version to [email protected]u or complete the digital form below.
