The Noah’s Ark Specialist Equipment Program (SET) provides equipment for loan to child care services, building on their capacity to include children with high physical support needs.

The SET Program is staffed by experienced equipment specialists who assist with the selection of equipment, provide professional advice and, in conjunction with the child’s therapist, monitor the ongoing suitability and safety of equipment on loan.

Eligible Victorian child care services (as defined in the Inclusion and Professional Support Program) which include a child with a diagnosed disability and have identified the need for specialist equipment through a Service Support Plan (SSP), may borrow specialist equipment.

Noah’s Ark SET Program is funded through the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) office of Early Childhood Intervention and Childcare, and manages the Specialist Equipment pool on behalf of the Victorian Professional Support Co-ordinator, Community Child Care.
