Make a change today and learn new skills by completing the Nationally Recognised CHCSS00081 Induction to Disability Skill Set.

In this Induction to Disability course, you will learn the skills required to participate as an employee or service provider for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

The NDIS has created one of the largest job opportunities in Australian history, and given the scale and pace of the reform to the disability support sector, there is a substantial shortage of workers.

For organisations working with people with disabilities, the CHCSS00081 Induction to Disability Skill Set is a great skill set to induct a new worker into a variety of roles supporting people with disabilities.

This interactive course includes extensive trainer support from industry experts to help you achieve your goals.

You will have the chance to attend weekly live online classes and also live chat sessions. During these, you will learn additional skills that will either clarify or enhance your learning from the course.

These weekly live classes and chat sessions will also allow you to ask questions and interact with fellow students.

By completing CHCSS00081 Induction to Disability Skill Set, you can continue to complete the following courses through Australis.
