A practical 30 minute eLearning module to clear the confusion and get your plans in place to respond to an emergency or disaster – no matter your organisation.

Why take this course?

When it comes to emergency and disaster planning in the NDIS, many registered providers are left wondering: What exactly do we need to have in place? What do the standards even require? 


This 30-minute module has you covered. We’ll give you guidance and clarity on what the standards require for participants, your organisation at large, and under Work Health and Safety laws. 


Note: We do not cover the requirement for all workers to be trained in the emergency and disaster plan (this should be implemented by the provider once they have a plan in place).


What you’ll gain

We’ll explore:

  • How to assess gaps in your quality system to meet the requirements in the Practice Standards in relation to Emergency and Disaster Management

  • What your obligations are under the NDIS Practice Standards and Work Health and Safety laws

  • Why you need to tailor your emergency and disaster plans to the supports and services you offer

  • Why you need to engage with participants and their support network when developing and reviewing emergency and disaster plans

  • The role of the governing body in emergency and disaster preparedness

Who’s it for?

This session is ideal for those responsible for developing, updating or implementing emergency and disaster management plans within NDIS service providers — including team leaders, staff or managers.

  • 30-minute eLearning module
