Why take this course?

Finishing school and preparing for life beyond the classroom can be daunting for everyone. But for people living with a disability, there’s often an added layer of uncertainty, confusion and fear. What’s next? So whether you’re an NDIS worker, participant or working within the education system, how can you best support people for a successful post-school world?

This 90-minute webinar will break down what good post-school planning looks like, including who should be involved and what supports to consider. You’ll get practical guidance on effective communication, coordination and most importantly, advocacy. No matter where you’re coming from, leave feeling more confident and informed to support a smoother transition into life after school.

Lisa Duffy

After starting out as a Physiotherapist, Lisa found her passion in complex case management and working with people with a disability to navigate their options in the 10 years prior to the NDIS roll-out.

Since the rollout in NSW, Lisa's specific interest areas are working with people to gain NDIS access for the first time and planning for NDIS reviews, with a particular passion for 'translating' the complexities of the NDIS, and working with people to build their skills, capacity and knowledge about the NDIS so that they can be informed, empowered, and objective self-advocates.

It's a passion that doesn’t go unrecognised: we’re talking about the winner of the award for Most Outstanding Support Coordinator at the 2022 Australian Disability Services Awards!
