Free positive behaviour support training for workers
The NDIS commission has launched a free Positive Behaviour Support Training Package for up to 15,000 disability support workers across Australia.
Positive behaviour support looks at why a person may use behaviours that can harm themselves or others. It focuses on meeting the person’s needs, building their skills and creating safe supportive environments. The goal is to improve quality of life and protect their human rights.
The training package includes three short online courses:
Positive Behaviour Support
Human rights and you
Trauma-informed support.
Launched in partnership with the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, the training is aligned with the NDIS Practice Standards and Code of Conduct and designed to help workers provide safe, respectful, and person-centred supports.
All courses can be completed flexibly online, and workers will receive a certificate of completion for each course.
The courses in the training package were created by National Disability Services (NDS) as part of their “NDS Workforce Essentials eLibrary”. Workers who have already completed this training need not register.
