Overview
- The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding to people with disability in Australia to exercise choice and control over the support they receive. The Scheme is designed to increase opportunities, as well as social and economic participation of people with disabilities. Are you interested in understanding how you can assist NDIS participants to explore and benefit from this revolution in social policy?
- At UniSQ, this degree is delivered completely online and via part-time study only, meaning you can balance life’s other commitments. Unlike other NDIS-related qualifications, the UniSQ Graduate Certificate of NDIS Studies ensures the experiences, voices, and perspectives of people with disability are at the core of your learning.
- Throughout the 4 courses, you will develop skills to explore, co-design and collaborate alongside people with disability, as they are empowered to confidently self-direct their own NDIS packages. You will examine how disability is constructed in contemporary society and gain an in-depth understanding of NDIS, its stakeholders, strengths, and challenges through the eyes and experiences of people with disabilities.
- Explore the delicate balance between meeting service provider obligations and maintaining quality standards without compromising the rights and autonomy of people with disability.
- Supported by experienced academics, industry professionals and advocates for equity, you will gain a thorough understanding of the NDIS and its historical and contemporary context, equipping you with frameworks to co-design solutions and challenge outdated practices.
