Why take this course?

Cyber security breaches are on the rise and NDIS providers are not immune. Our sector faces unique vulnerabilities: sensitive participant data, a dispersed workforce and varying levels of tech literacy. While the NDIS Practice Standards require robust privacy and information management, many providers still rely on habits that leave them exposed.

This practical, jargon-free workshop makes cyber security relevant to everyday NDIS work. You’ll learn where the biggest risks are for providers right now, how to take practical steps to strengthen your defences and how to meet your obligations under the NDIS Practice Standards and Privacy Act. We’ll work through real-world scenarios, from spotting a phishing email to securely handling participant files on the move.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your organisation’s vulnerabilities, practical actions you can take immediately and a checklist to help strengthen cyber safety across your team.


What you’ll gain

By the end of the session, you will be able to:

  • Securely handle participant and NDIS data in line with NDIS Practice Standards and privacy laws

  • Recognise AI-related security risks and how to use AI tools safely in documentation
