Why take this course?

We know, ‘risk management’ isn’t the most exciting topic (unless you ask our presenters). And it certainly won’t make you the life of the party at your next dinner party (unless we’re there). But an effective risk management strategy is essential to providing safe and high quality support, while safeguarding participants, workers and the organisation.

This practical and interactive 2 hour workshop will unpack risk management from an NDIS provider’s perspective. You’ll gain the tools to develop an effective risk management system tailored to your needs and the expectations of the NDIS Commission. The workshop includes breakout rooms for deeper discussion, relevant case studies, and access to bonus OnDemand courses. 

By the end, you’ll understand what risk actually is and how to develop a simple yet effective system to keep things running smoothly.
