Empowering Choice & Independence: Supporting Participants with Dignity
Promoting Choice in Support Work
Empowerment is at the heart of quality support. Every participant deserves the right to make choices, take control of their life, and feel respected in their daily decisions. For support workers, understanding how to empower participants safely and confidently is a key part of providing person-centred care under the NDIS.
The Empowering Choice & Independence course by 2Skill helps workers recognise the importance of autonomy, dignity, and informed choice in their professional practice. Whether you work in aged care, disability support, or community services, this training builds your ability to provide support that truly honours each person’s goals and preferences.
What You’ll Learn in the Course
This course explores the principles of empowerment and practical strategies that promote independence in care settings. You’ll learn how to:
Support participants to make informed decisions about their care and lifestyle
Communicate respectfully, promoting confidence and self-advocacy
Recognise and reduce over-support or dependency
Foster environments that enable participation, not restriction
Apply NDIS and human rights principles to everyday practice
By developing these skills, workers can deliver care that builds trust and helps participants reach their full potential.
Why Empowerment Matters in NDIS Care
Empowerment isn’t just a philosophy — it’s a requirement under the NDIS Practice Standards. Supporting participants to exercise choice and control ensures that care is not only compliant but also meaningful and respectful.
When participants are empowered, they’re more likely to engage actively in their plans, achieve personal goals, and maintain a stronger sense of wellbeing.
For workers, this training enhances communication, ethical decision-making, and collaboration skills — all essential for providing quality, participant-focused support.
Linking to Other Compliance Skills
The Empowering Choice & Independence course connects naturally with other essential trainings such as Professional Boundaries and Preferred Method of Communication. Together, these courses help support workers establish respectful relationships, promote autonomy, and ensure participants’ voices are heard.
All these courses are available online through 2Skill, designed for flexible, self-paced learning — ideal for busy care professionals who want to grow their skills while working.
Moving Forward With Confidence
When you empower participants to make choices and live independently, you help create a more inclusive and respectful care environment.
