Why take this course?

Under the new NDIS Act, Impairment Notices are an entirely new and fundamental change set to arrive on 1 January 2025 (Happy New Year?!). Impairment Notices, as you may know, are documents that confirm a Participant has a permanent disability or significant impairment. They categorise impairments into six distinct groups. 

Simple in theory – confusing in practice. There’s likely going to be a whole lot of questions around what constitutes a disability-related support under the NDIS, as well as the role that Impairment Notices will play in support planning, budgeting, negotiating with participants, risk management for providers and service delivery. 

Any mistakes related to purchasing supports that aren't connected to a person's impairment may have significant consequences for both providers and participants, including non-compliance, inappropriate supports for participants, and the potential for debts being raised by the NDIA. So, it’s something Providers need to wrap their heads around. This 1 hour webinar will give you a powerful and concise overview of Impairment Notices so you can better meet your obligations and support participants.

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.
