💡 Did you know?

NDIS supports are designed to help people live more independently and achieve their personal goals, not just provide care.

At FAS Foundation, we focus on building capacity, confidence, and choice for every participant we support.

08/01/2026

At FAS Foundation, our work is guided by three core values:

✔ Respect
✔ Inclusion
✔ Person-centred support

Every individual’s journey is different and we believe support should be tailored, empowering, and delivered with dignity.

Thinking about working in disability services?

If you want to work as a support worker in Australia, the starting requirement is getting the right qualification.

Most people begin with the Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability).
This covers the foundations of disability support, including daily living support, personal care, safety, and professional boundaries.

For those wanting to progress further, the Certificate IV in Disability builds on this and focuses on complex needs, documentation, and higher levels of responsibility.

Yes, there are other requirements in the disability sector, but qualifications are the starting point. Everything else sits alongside this.

And this part matters.
Participants and families have the right to ask about qualifications.
You are allowed to ask what training a worker has.
You are allowed to ask what they are qualified to do.

A qualified workforce protects participants first.
It also protects workers and the system as a whole.

This is a good read thank you Strong Foundation Support

This comes up all the time.
There is no NDIS requirement for 2-hour shifts or minimum bookings.

You bill for the time actually delivered. If a support worker provides 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or 90 minutes of support, the NDIS position is simple: you bill for the time actually delivered.

The confusion comes from the SCHADS Award, which applies to employees, not participants.
That award includes minimum engagement periods to protect workers, but it’s an employment issue, not an NDIS rule.

Independent support workers are not employees, so SCHADS minimums don’t apply to them either.

If a independent worker has a minimum charge, that’s a business policy, not an NDIS requirement.
