Allied health professionals play an important role in delivering the NDIS. The framework develops the skills and knowledge of allied health professionals to better provide high-quality, person-centred support that promotes choice and control for people with disability and complex support needs.
The framework is relevant along allied health career pathways, from new graduates to experienced practitioners. It applies to government, private and not-for-profit services. It concerns allied health services for children, young people and adults with disability along the health care journey, the NDIS pathway and at the meeting point of health and disability.
A range of online tools and training resources to help implement the framework into practice are available and include:
- a self-assessment tool with links to resources and professional development approaches
- an organisational checklist for service managers and allied health educators with links to resources
- an e-learning package for allied health professionals
- reference documents that outline behaviours for each capability mapped across three levels of ability
- a checklist for people with disability, families and carers to find and use allied health services
- training resources for trainers and educators.
