Staff employed in the metropolitan area such as Statewide Services (Teaching, Learning and Early Childhood Services; Student Support and Aboriginal Education Services; Leadership Institute); Schools of Special Educational Needs (Behaviour and Engagement; Disabilities; Medical and Mental Health; Sensory); Instrumental Music School Services; and corporate support (Education Business Services; Workforce), also provide services and support to the regions.
