Seizure Management Training for NDIS Workers: Essential Safety Skills

Why Seizure Management Matters

For some NDIS participants, seizures are part of their daily lives. Whether caused by epilepsy or other medical conditions, seizures can occur unexpectedly and require immediate, safe, and respectful responses from support workers.

Without the right training, workers may panic or respond incorrectly, increasing risks to the participant. With proper Seizure Management training, workers can step in with confidence, ensuring safety, dignity, and compliance with NDIS Practice Standards.

What Workers Learn in Seizure Management Training

This specialised training equips workers with the knowledge and skills to:

• Recognise different types of seizures
  
  

• Provide safe and timely first aid responses
  
  

• Understand seizure triggers and risk minimisation strategies
  
  

• Record and report seizure activity accurately
  
  

• Support participants before, during, and after a seizure with dignity and respect
  
  

By completing Seizure Management training, workers become better prepared for high-intensity support roles that demand both technical skill and compassion.

Benefits for NDIS and Aged Care Workers

• Enhanced safety – reduce risks for participants during and after seizures
  
  

• Increased confidence – know how to act quickly in emergency situations
  
  

• Stronger employability – compliance with NDIS Commission requirements makes you more valuable to employers
  
  

• Better participant outcomes – contribute to improved independence and quality of life for those you support
  
  

Linking to Other Compliance Skills

Employers often require workers trained in seizure management to also complete other high-intensity care courses, such as Complex Bowel Care. These skills complement each other, giving workers the ability to support participants with multiple complex needs. Complex Bowel Care training is also available online through 2Skill, making it simple to add to your professional development plan.

Moving Forward With Confidence

Seizure Management training is about more than compliance—it’s about empowering workers to protect lives and provide safe, respectful, and person-centred care. By training with 2Skill, you’ll gain a nationally recognised certificate and the skills needed to respond effectively in high-pressure situations.
