Course Requirements

There are no formal prerequisites. It will help if you have:

  • A basic understanding of the NDIS and how SIL supports are delivered
  • Access to your organisation's Supported Decision-Making Policy and Procedure
  • Access to participant records (for example, the Participant Profile in CareVault) so you can apply what you learn

Course Description

This course gives you the knowledge and practical skills to support people living in Supported Independent Living (SIL) homes to make their own decisions. Every person has the right to make choices about their life. Your job is to help them do that, not to make decisions for them.

The course is built on the Supported Decision-Making Policy and Procedure and the NDIS Practice Standard for Supported Decision-Making. That standard requires providers to put each participant's will and preferences at the centre of everything they do.

You will learn what supported decision-making is (and what it is not), how to share information in ways people understand, how to respect dignity of risk, and how to follow the six practice steps workers are expected to use every day.

Course Outcomes

When you finish this course, you will be able to:

  1. Explain supported decision-making and how it differs from substitute decision-making.
  2. Identify the rights, legislation and standards that underpin supported decision-making.
  3. Describe what is expected of participants, workers, team leaders and management.
  4. Provide information in the language, format and communication style that works best for each participant.
  5. Apply dignity of risk while meeting your duty of care.
  6. Follow the six supported decision-making practice steps, including responding to cultural values and recognising when a formal decision-maker may be needed.
  7. Document decision-making support and escalate concerns correctly.
