Why take this course?
Programs of Support (POS) are a game-changing approach for providers of certain support types. The main benefit? Providers can bill for services whether the participant attends or not (think: stability for both participants AND providers). Yet despite being around for several years and available to a wide range of services – Programs of Support are still poorly understood and implemented.
Like many things in the NDIS, Programs of Support are good in theory, but can be tricky to make work in practice.We’ve heard whispers that there is more scrutiny than ever on providers meeting the compliance requirements that come with the NDIS Programs of Support model.
The answer – this tightly-packed 60-minute workshop will outline what services can deliver a Program of Support, what agreements and documents the NDIA requires you to have in place, and how to roll out a Program of Support. You’ll leave feeling a whole better about the POS model – and with the knowledge of how to make it work for participants, your organisation, and your team.
What you'll gain
In this practical and informative 60 minute workshop, we’ll dive into the nitty gritty of Programs of Support (PoS):
What services can be delivered under a POS model (and what can’t)
What are the grey areas (specifically the current guidance on POS models for groups compared to 1:1 services for certain service types)
How is a POS model different from routine services?
The benefits and drawbacks of the POS model
Compliance requirements for POS services
Examples of ok and not ok ways of meeting these compliance requirements
Things to think about when transitioning to a POS model (for example, backend functions, worker preparation, quality requirements and implications, and ways to communicate with participants)
Who's it for?
Any providers of group programs
Providers who deliver POS-eligible services but aren't sure whether the model is right for them
Providers who want to learn more about the ins-and-outs of the POS model
