Why take this course?

We can all agree that the NDIS loves a bit of jargon. Yep, The Scheme is filled with industry-specific language, processes and phrases. Knowing this is super handy for communicating when you’re ‘in the know’ – buuut totally confusing if you’re still wrapping your head around it. 

This practical 30 minute module is for participants, informal supports, Support Coordinators, allied health and basically anyone who wants to know how to speak the NDIS lingo. By getting to know the different language used between the Health, Mental Health and NDIS systems, you’ll build your confidence in everyday conversations, as well as when negotiating and providing evidence to justify NDIS funded supports.
