Who should do it?
This module is a must for NDIS workers who support people with disability.

It's also helpful for other support staff within the disability sector to complete, including finance, marketing and other managers.
Employer check-in
Some disability service providers will offer this training. Always ask a potential employer if they provide the module. If the employer will set it up for you, you’ll be able to complete it before starting work.
However, completing the module before applying for a job can look good. It might make it easier and faster for the employer to onboard you, which is always a plus in a busy sector!
