Risk rears its head every single day – especially if you’re a Support Worker. This 30 minute eLearning is all about managing risk and keeping you and the people you work with safe.

Why take this course?

Risks are everywhere. But they’re particularly everywhere in the day-to-day role of a Support Worker. And if you’re working on the frontline, you’re making decisions about risk every day, so it sure helps to be informed.

Risk Management for Support Workers is a 30 minute eLearning module that takes a positive approach to risk (yes, we said positive). Not only that, it’s designed for the NDIS (how useful). We explore your legal obligations, the NDIS Commission’s requirements and the NDIS Workforce Capability Framework – all things that need to be considered as well as your organisation’s risk framework.

What does this mean for you? Support Workers will feel confident identifying and managing risks, and managers can get peace of mind their staff are safe.

  • Common risk management terms

  • Reasons why risk is identified and managed

  • How to document risks and controls
