Event description:

Take your social work career further—NDIS registration can open the door to your own practice, broader services, and greater impact for your clients

Understanding NDIS registration is vital for social workers who want to navigate the evolving disability services landscape. It connects directly to the profession’s commitment to advocacy, ethical practice, and ensuring people with disability have equitable access to quality supports. Knowledge of the registration process empowers social workers to make informed choices about service delivery, whether working independently, in community organisations, or in multidisciplinary teams.

Gaining a clear understanding of NDIS registration requirements, funding streams, and compliance obligations enables social workers to enhance their service capacity, maintain professional credibility, and adapt to sector reforms. This knowledge supports sustainable practice, broadens opportunities for client engagement, and ensures alignment with industry standards and legislative expectations.
