Equipping Organisations for the NDIS & Keeping in Touch with What Matters

Workshop Overview

Organisations are navigatinga changing landscape and need to consider how they may capitalise on the potential the NDIS offers, without compromising on their core values. Participants will consider the fundamental shifts in thinking and relationships that may need to take place to enable the people they support to take control and direct the support they require.

This interactive training day will offer practical strategies on how leaders of services might design and create support that suits the person, enables them to live a good life, and is sustainable over time. The day will offer opportunities to connect with other managers dealing with similar challenges.

Topics covered will include

  • Essential features of service relationships in an NDIS context
  • Enabling people with disability toenact control
  • Self directionas more than just a funding source
  • Negotiations – expanding what people might have a say over
  • Embedding these ideas in organisations for structural change

Questions

  • Are you wondering how to keep your organisation on track as you transition to the NDIS?
  • Are you finding it challenging to maintain the focus on the people you serve in an increasingly business-oriented, competition-driven market?
  • Are you grappling with how to move from group-based models to working on an individual basis?

Who should attend?

  • This workshop has been developed specifically for people in leadership positions in organisations that are looking ahead to how to situate themselves in the changing NDIS climate. CEOs, managers and coordinators are encouraged to attend.
