This training ensures that carers can safely assist with medication management, including understanding different types of medications, dosage, storage, and administration methods.
5.

It focuses on understanding the underlying causes of behavior, implementing strategies to prevent and manage challenging behaviors, and promoting positive interactions and outcomes.
6. Cultural Competency and Disability Rights: NDIS carers should have an understanding of cultural diversity and disability rights to provide inclusive and respectful support to individuals from diverse backgrounds. Training in cultural competency and disability rights helps carers promote cultural sensitivity, inclusion, and advocacy.
It's important to note that the specific training requirements may vary based on the state or territory you are working in and the specific support services you provide. Different organizations or employers may also have additional training requirements beyond the minimum standards set by the NDIS.
