The ABCs of the NDIS

Whether you’re totally new here (welcome) or need to brush up on the basics (welcome back), you’ve probably heard that the NDIS is a complicated beast. 

Our ABCs of the NDIS workshop will give you a broad overview of all the important parts of the NDIS.  Learn how to wrap your head around complex terminology, understand key NDIS concepts, put the FUN into FUNding, and take the complexity out of compliance. All in a day’s work.

Across 5 hours, you’ll get an understanding of… 

• NDIS Essentials. The must-have knowledge about NDIS purpose, principles and key concepts like 'goal setting', 'choice and control' and 'reasonable and necessary'. And what does all this look like in practice? 

• NDIS Funding. Know the different ways funding is managed, how this affects flexibility, and what can and can’t be funded by the NDIS.  Leave knowing the difference between core, capital and capacity building. 

• NDIS Key Concepts. Things like funding flexibility, goals and management types.

• NDIS Key Players. Get to know who's who and the roles they play. What’s the NDIS Commission? The NDIA? A Support Coordinator? A Plan Manager? A Local Area Coordinator? A Planner?

• NDIS Compliance. What you need to know in the areas most likely to give you grief (*cough* there's a lot). Get comfy with audits, the NDIS Practice Standards, the Code of Conduct, worker screening, complaint reporting, incident reporting, compulsory worker orientation, behaviour support and restrictive practices.

• NDIS terminology. Become fluent in the language of NDIS. 

• NDIS Registration. Getting registered, staying registered and how different registration groups create different auditing requirements.

• NDIS business. Ideas and tips to help you set up an NDIS business, if that’s your thing.
