NDIS Inclusive Practice

Course Overview

This course provides a comprehensive framework for delivering disability supports that are deeply rooted in equity and respect. It focuses on the customization of service delivery to meet the diverse social, cultural, and individual identities of NDIS participants, moving beyond basic accessibility to true inclusion.

Aligned with the NDIS Practice Standards and the Quality and Safeguarding Framework, this training equips staff with the skills to identify systemic barriers and dismantle the “one-size-fits-all” approach. Participants will learn how to foster an environment where every individual, regardless of their background or disability type, feels seen, heard, and empowered to lead their own life.

What You’ll Learn

• Define Inclusive Practice within the NDIS context and understand the transition from the medical model to the social model of disability.

• Advocate for disability rights using the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) as a guiding framework.
