By - 2Skill Instructor
The purpose of this course is to equip support workers and NDIS professionals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to safely and respectfully prepare, deliver, and monitor meals for participants. Mealtimes are a key part of a participant’s health, wellbeing, and quality of life. This training ensures that staff understand and implement individual mealtime management plans, recognise and respond to dysphagia risks, and follow safe food handling and hygiene practices. Learners will also explore person-centred approaches to respecting participant preferences, cultural needs, and dignity of choice, while meeting nutritional requirements and reducing risks such as choking, aspiration, and malnutrition. By the end of the session, learners will be prepared to provide safe, compliant, and empowering mealtime support consistent with NDIS Practice Standards, organisational policies, and Australian food safety regulations.
