Supporting NDIS Participants Towards their NDIS Goals

Course Overview

This course provides a practical framework for support workers to act as catalysts in a participant’s journey toward independence. It focuses on the customization of support delivery to ensure that every interaction—whether in the home, the community, or the workplace—is intentionally designed to move the participant closer to their stated NDIS objectives.

Aligned with the NDIS Outcomes Framework, this training equips staff with the skills to shift from “doing for” a participant to “doing with” them. Participants will learn how to identify skill gaps, foster self-advocacy, and collect the high-quality evidence required to prove that supports are creating a tangible “return on investment” in the participant’s life.

What You’ll Learn

• Interpret NDIS plans to distinguish between “stated goals” and the functional needs required to achieve them.

• Implement “Scaffolding” techniques to enhance skills for daily tasks, gradually reducing support as the participant gains confidence.

• Support education and lifelong learning by identifying accessible courses and utilizing assistive learning technologies.

• Facilitate employment pathways by assisting with job readiness, workplace social skills, and economic participation strategies.

• Navigate home and living arrangements, including building capacity for independent living and managing shared household dynamics.

• Master “Outcome-Focused Documentation” to provide the NDIS with clear evidence of progress, barriers, and achievements.

• Apply ethical support practices that prioritize the participant’s choice and control over how their goals are pursued.
