Empowering the Disability Workforce: etrainu Supports National Training Initiative

The training includes three short, self-paced online courses. Together, these courses give an understanding of how to support people in safe, respectful, and person-centred ways.

Up to 15,000 disability support workers can access the training. It's flexible, easy to use, and designed to help workers feel more confident in their role.

This initiative is supported by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. It is part of shared commitment to build a skilled workforce that protects the rights of people with disability. The training is aligned with the NDIS Practice Standards and the NDIS Code of Conduct.

Building a Stronger, Supported Workforce

This initiative comes at a critical time for the sector with almost one quarter of workers leaving due to limited learning or development opportunities.

At etrainu, we believe education is one of the most powerful ways to support those who support others. By making access to high-quality training simple and scalable, we’re proud to help strengthen the frontline workforce and improve outcomes for people with disability.

“This initiative is more than just a set of courses, it’s an opportunity to build confidence, embed human rights in everyday practice, and support workers who are making a difference every day. We’re proud to support the NDIS Commission in bringing this training to life and making learning more accessible for disability support workers across the country,” says Paul Hoon, CEO of etrainu.
