PsCTas is the Professional Support Coordinator to children’s services in Tasmania. The Inclusion and Professional Support Program (IPSP) is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and managed by Lady Gowrie Tasmania to provide training and support to child care services across the sector.

The Professional Support Program (PSP) has been developed to promote high quality care and inclusion for all children in eligible child care services, by providing professional learning and support focused on increasing the capacity of Educators, Managers, Inclusion Support and Indigenous Professional Support staff, in line with nationally consistent principles. Program delivery will be based on needs identified through ongoing requests and a statewide needs analysis. Lady Gowrie Tasmania will then engage appropriate service providers to deliver the training and support required.

You can also gain ready access to support and information through this website. If you are part of an eligible child care service which receives funding from the Australian Government, an Inclusion Support Agency or an Inclusion Support Facilitator or an Indigenous Professional Support Agency, this website will assist you to gain access to training, resources and advice in several ways.
