Every state's gate on one sheet, beside the phone.

What is actually on the sheet

Three pages. Everything on them is quoted from the education department that published it, with that department's own last-updated date beside it.

1. Page one — the comparison

   All eight jurisdictions against the four questions that actually differ: who may make the request, the stated insurance minimums, the instrument you sign, and the published decision clock.

   It is the page that catches the two contradictions. Queensland says providers cannot make requests for access directly to the school; Western Australia says providers can make a direct request with the parent's consent. Run the WA playbook in Queensland and you have broken the process on step one.

2. Page two — the folder and the refusal

   The clearance, training and ID each department wants in the folder before session one — and what the published policy still requires of a principal who says no.

   Including the counterweight that survives a refusal: schools remain legally obliged to provide reasonable adjustments regardless of whether a student also receives NDIS support. That is a more useful thing to raise with a family than a grievance.

3. Page three — what it does not settle

   The gaps, named as gaps rather than quietly omitted.

   The Northern Territory and the ACT are marked unestablished — we could not retrieve a published provider-access procedure for either, so the sheet says so and gives you the department to ask instead of a guess. The insurance cells no department publishes are left visibly blank rather than filled with a neighbouring state's number.
