WHS Leadership Training for Disability Services
Online NDIS Training for Disability Support Workers
- Disability Support
Course overview
Work health and safety in the disability sector is more than a worker-level concern. Leaders carry a personal, legal duty to make sure the system actually works in practice.
This online course is built for officers, executives, and managers in disability services. It walks through the leadership duties that sit at the top of every provider, then shows how to put those duties into action across day-to-day governance. Real disability sector scenarios show what these duties look like at the team-leader, manager, and board level.
