Why take this course?

Consent. It’s essential to ensure people with a disability are making decisions and in charge of their own lives. While some people can freely understand and give consent, for others, it’s not so simple – they may need support to make these decisions.

So where does that leave us now? The NDIS is uncovering areas where ‘assumed’ or ‘substitute’ consent has been the norm (read: a problematic norm). Challenging these standards and creating a future of genuine consent within the NDIS is tricky – but essential.

This two-hour training will guide providers on how to navigate the murky space between capacity and consent, as well as the NDIS consent processes (knowledge that’s becoming increasingly important with the rollout of the Supported Decision-Making policy and PACE). By the end, you’ll leave feeling better informed about the consent process and better equipped to build capacity and support participants to exercise choice and control.

What you'll gain

Across two informative hours, you’ll gain an understanding of what the NDIS consent processes cover. Including:

  • When is consent important?

  • The NDIS and consent – what’s it all mean?

  • NDIS supports to facilitate informed consent

  • Navigating guardianship and NDIS consent

  • Understanding scope and limitations of consent

  • Consent and its link to Supported Decision Making
