Introduction to Human Rights in Disability Support
Promoting Dignity, Equality, and Respect in Every Interaction
Every person has the right to live with dignity, freedom, and respect — and this is especially important in the disability and aged care sectors. The Introduction to Human Rights in Disability Support course by 2Skill helps support workers understand how human rights principles shape quality care and participant wellbeing under the NDIS framework.
This essential training empowers care professionals to recognise, respect, and uphold the rights of all participants, ensuring that support is always ethical, person-centred, and inclusive.
Why Human Rights Training Is Important
Human rights are not optional — they are the foundation of safe, fair, and respectful support. In disability services, every worker has a duty to promote choice, control, and equality for participants.
This course helps learners to:
Understand the human rights principles that guide the NDIS Practice Standards
Recognise discrimination, neglect, or exploitation in care settings
Apply rights-based approaches in everyday support tasks
Advocate for inclusion, autonomy, and fairness
Communicate and act in ways that uphold dignity and respect
When support workers understand human rights, they create care environments where participants feel safe, valued, and empowered.
