To be considered for an enrolment at SALS the young person needs to be enrolled in a WA public school.
1. Speak with Your School: Start by speaking with your school’s Student Services Team about the support and options available for your young person.
2. Referral: If SALS is considered a suitable option, your school will submit a referral to the relevant Education Regional Office.
3. Referral Assessment: SALS works in partnership with the Education Regional Office to assess each referral against the program’s intake criteria and suitability requirements.
Each referral is considered individually, and meeting the intake criteria does not guarantee enrolment.
4. Meeting with SALS: If the referral progresses, your enrolled school will contact you and a meeting with SALS will be arranged to discuss your young person’s needs and the next steps.
