Component 4 – Provide the following capped funding to government school systems for students with disability. This funding restores the estimated decrease for each system resulting from the change in disability loading calculations between 2017 and 2018, calculated as the difference between total 2017 and 2018 disability loading funding. Funding would be restored in equal steps spread over three years from 1 January 2020.
