Build Your Confidence in Disability Management

This course is designed to upskill physiotherapists to increase their confidence in working with people with a disability. There may be a range of content that is relevant to the wider allied health workforce.

This course consists of six self-paced modules which contain a mix of introductory recorded lectures, case study videos, interactive eLearning, and knowledge checks. Module 1 - introduction to NDIS must be completed first, then the other modules may be undertaken in any order. These must be completed to receive a Certificate of Attendance. References and links to any additional resources are provided for each module - these are optional. 

This project was funded under the Jobs and Market Fund administered by the Department of Social Services.
