Great communication is integral to the provision of high-quality disability supports– but we’re guessing you already knew that.

In this episode of Frontline, we go beyond why good communication matters. Instead, we focus on the practicalities of how providers and support workers can level up their communication skills.

TRANSCRIPT

We all take risks and want to be the boss of our own lives. But how can providers and support workers strike a balance between supporting people to take risks and meeting their duty of care obligations?

In this episode of Frontline, Sara speaks to people with disability about the value of risk-taking and the mindset shift from asking ‘Is this safe?’ to ‘How do we make it safe?’

TRANSCRIPT

There are few questions in disability supports more contentious than this: Can support workers be friends with the people they support, or does this cross a boundary?

In this episode of Frontline, we talk to people with disability about the relationships they like to have with their support workers and offer tips for NDIS providers wading through the nuance.
