The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new approach to disability support that is needs-based and individualised. The NDIS provides support for people with disabilities to live an ordinary life and to participate in the community.
The NDIS is now fully rolled out across Australia and is providing support to around 460,000 people with disability.
If you live in Australia and would like to find out more about the NDIS, there are a number of training and support options available. This blog provides an overview of some of the training and support options available.
The NDIS provides people with disability the support they need to live a good life
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides people with disabilities the support they need to live a good life. This includes support for daily living, education, employment and community participation.
The NDIS is a needs-based scheme, which means that it provides people with the support they need to meet their goals and participate in the community, regardless of their income or assets.
All service providers who work with NDIS participants must be trained
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Framework is a set of national standards and processes that ensures NDIS participants receive safe and high-quality support and services. Service providers who have not yet been trained in the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Framework can do so by completing an online training course.
Training helps service providers understand the NDIS and how to support participants
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a complex system that can be difficult to understand. This is why it's important for service providers to receive training on the NDIS so they can support participants in the best way possible.
Training helps service providers understand how the NDIS works, what participants need, and how to connect them with the right services. It also helps service providers understand the NDIS Code of Conduct and how to maintain a professional relationship with participants.
Service providers who are properly trained can make a big difference in the lives of NDIS participants. They can help participants achieve their goals and live a fulfilling life.
There are different types of NDIS training, depending on the role of the service provider
There are different types of NDIS training, depending on the role of the service provider. For example, if you are a registered NDIS provider in Melbourne, you will need to complete NDIS Provider registration training. This training covers the NDIS registration process and requirements, as well as the Code of Conduct and other legal obligations.
If you are an NDIS worker, you will need to complete NDIS Worker induction training. This training covers the NDIS Code of Conduct, worker roles and responsibilities, and how to report concerns. NDIS Provider registration training and NDIS Worker induction training are both mandatory for all new service providers and workers.
