Why take this course?

Behaviour support and restrictive practices are a complex and heavily regulated area of the NDIS. And if you’ve tuned into the news cycle recently, you’ve no doubt seen the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission has been issuing stern warnings and fines to providers not meeting their obligations.

Cue: fear, uncertainty and a lot of difficult conversations. 

As a response to the Commission’s demand for immediate action, this 2.5 hour workshop will support the many providers who need to take another look and make sure their house is in order. It includes a refresher on your obligations around restrictive practices, authorisation, BSP timeframes, reporting and more. By the end? You’ll leave with a greater understanding of the NDIS Commission’s recent compliance response and confidence and clarity on the best next steps.

Therese Morgante

Therese comes to Team DSC with over 25 years experience in the sector across a range of government, consulting and provider roles. She has played key roles throughout Victoria's progression towards individualised funding, including design and initial implementation of self directed funding at the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and supporting the establishment of the Barwon NDIS pilot site. As a clear thinker, Therese is able to get to the heart of an issue quickly to solve policy dilemmas. When she is not touring suburban sporting grounds with her two sons or obsessively watching documentaries on the British Royal Family, Therese is an avid reader, improving cook, lover of Australian politics and (very) amateur art critic.

Rob Woolley

Our very own Woolly Mammoth, pulls up last in the alphabetical rankings but always gets a place on the DSC podium for combining curiosity with smarts. He knows so much about the NDIS it is scary. Rob lives a personal commitment to sharing his knowledge with an endgame of people with disability in control. Combining lived experience of the early childhood intervention pathway with professional experience of the realities of provider life - he has consistently shown the inability to hold down a real job. His roles in the disability sector have covered direct support work, project management, business development, consulting, ILC-funded advocacy roles and owner-operator of a registered and then unregistered provider (but the thing he is best at is being a very present dad). If you want a consultant or trainer in your corner you will be looking high and low to do better than our Rob.
