High-Intensity Supports in the NDIS: Why Specialist Training Matters

Understanding High-Intensity Supports

Some participants in the NDIS require high-intensity daily supports due to complex health conditions. These supports go beyond general personal care, requiring workers with specialised skills to deliver them safely and effectively. Examples include mealtime management for people with swallowing difficulties, complex wound care, diabetes management, and seizure support.

High-intensity support training ensures that workers are not only competent in technical tasks but also understand the importance of safety, dignity, and compliance with NDIS standards.

Why Training is Essential

Workers who provide high-intensity supports must complete approved training to meet NDIS Commission requirements. Without training, the risk of harm to participants increases significantly. With training, workers gain:

  • Confidence in providing complex health-related supports

  • Knowledge of recognising and responding to risks or emergencies

  • Skills that improve participant safety, independence, and quality of life

  • Compliance with NDIS Practice Standards and employer requirements
