SUMMARY:Navigating the NDIS | Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare
DESCRIPTION:Navigating the NDIS is a highly interactive 4-hour workshop designed to provide practical\, hands-on training for child and family sector professionals who support clients engaging with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Delivered in two 2-hour sessions\, this workshop demystifies how the NDIS works and how decisions are made\, while equipping participants with the tools and language needed to advocate effectively. \nKey focus areas included\nParticipants will explore key aspects of the NDIS\, including how disability is defined\, what evidence influences decision-making\, and how to communicate client needs clearly and persuasively. The training covers the full journey – from applying for access and creating plans\, to managing existing plans and challenging decisions when necessary \nWith a strong focus on real-world application\, the workshop provides templates and resources to help\nprofessionals gather relevant information and represent the needs of children\, parents\, and carers to NDIS decision-makers. \nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand how the NDIS is designed to work\, including the key assumptions about families and children with disability.\nClarify the roles and responsibilities of child and family sector staff when supporting families navigating the NDIS.\nAppreciate the lived experiences and perspectives of parents caring for a child with disability.\nApply practical tips and techniques to support families through the NDIS journey—from access to review and appeal.\nIdentify and connect with the broader network of support and advocacy organisations surrounding the NDIS.\n\nRegister here
