Deep Dive into NDIS Reporting Through Workshops 3 and 4
Creating a comprehensive and insightful NDIS Progress Report requires expertise, empathy, and an intricate understanding of a participant's unique needs.

Workshops 3 and 4 of our Support Coordination training are designed to hone these skills, propelling your reporting capabilities to professional heights.

WORKSHOP 3: Planning and Identifying Priorities
This workshop equips you with the skills to develop personalised, effective plans for participants, which serves as the backbone of any NDIS Progress Report.

• Person-Centred Planning: Person-Centred Planning empowers you to focus on the individual needs and goals of participants. This approach is crucial for NDIS reporting as it ensures the participant's voice is heard and respected throughout their journey.
• Capacity Building Opportunities: Understanding how to identify and leverage capacity-building opportunities can make your reports a tool for empowerment. You'll learn how to outline these opportunities in your reports, making them more than just a checklist of tasks but a roadmap for future development.
• Reviewing and Setting Goals: This part of the workshop teaches you how to review and set SMART goals, which can then be clearly articulated in your progress reports. Your report becomes a living document that evolves with the participant's journey, highlighting achievements and setbacks alike.
• Plan Management Options and Budget Flexibility: This workshop guides you through different plan management options and budgeting techniques, knowledge you can apply directly to the Financial Summary section of your NDIS report.
• Action Plan and Progress Reports: You'll learn to develop concise yet comprehensive action plans that can be included in the NDIS Progress Reports. These plans will serve as a quick reference guide for participants, their families, and other stakeholders, streamlining the review and decision-making processes.

WORKSHOP 4: Link, Coach, Refine and Review

This workshop dives into the ethical and practical aspects of Support Coordination, which are crucial for creating comprehensive and ethical reports.

• Conflict of Interest and Safeguarding Role: This workshop educates you on identifying and mitigating conflicts of interest, ensuring that your reports stand up to ethical scrutiny.
• Reasonable and Necessary Criteria: You'll learn how to delineate between what is 'reasonable' and what is 'necessary,' providing you with the skills to write balanced and justified reports.
• Mainstream Interface and the NDIS: This workshop also prepares you to integrate broader services and community supports into your reports, offering a more holistic view of a participant's life and support needs. It enhances your capability to write reports that serve as comprehensive guides to a participant's support ecosystem.
• Crisis Management: This part of the workshop teaches you how to plan and manage crisis situations, skills that are vital for drafting the Risk Management and Crisis Intervention sections of your NDIS reports.
• Reviews, Reports, and Reassessments: The ultimate goal is to create reports that are not just documents but tools for ongoing support and reassessment. This workshop concludes by teaching you how to write reports that facilitate easier reviews and enable timely reassessments.

By the end of these workshops, you'll not only have a toolbox of skills to improve your support coordination but also the specific expertise to create NDIS Progress Reports that are both comprehensive and accurate.
