Great information to keep yourselves informed 💪

A SafeWork survey identified that women make up more than 70% of nursing, welfare support, aged and disability care workers in Australia. These occupations see an overwhelming level of violence and aggression and are given no formal training.

Want to bridge the gap with some life changing training?

Get in touch today.

The 4 most common industries experiencing workplace violence are:

▪️Healthcare and social assistance - Disability support, Allied health

▪️Education and training - from early to higher education

▪️Retail and hospitality - Bar staff and retail workers

▪️Public administration and safety - Police, Corrections

However, only public administration and safety recieve training to mitigate risk and protect themselves
We are here to bridge the gap and prepare you for the workplace risks in your industry

The new NDIS laws take effect tomorrow Thursday 03 October 24

▪️If you're struggling to understand the impact the changes will have on your business's risk management reach out today!

The new NDIS laws start tomorrow, Thursday 3 October 2024.

One of the immediate changes is a new definition of NDIS supports. This will affect all participants.

It means that from Thursday 3 October, participants can only spend NDIS funds on items listed as approved NDIS supports.

We have published lists on our website that clearly define:
• what is an NDIS support
• what is not an NDIS support
• what is a replacement support.
For many participants, this won’t change what you are spending your NDIS funding on as the new lists are based on existing guidance.

We will work with participants who are not spending their NDIS funding on NDIS supports to understand these changes.

Have you been assaulted in the workplace?

34% of people working in the disability sector have been assaulted in the workplace.

On 8 November, we'll discuss de-escalation techniques, situational awareness, and how to identify early signs of aggression from people who provide such a critical service to the Toowoomba community.

Most importantly we'll also discuss your rights when faced with potentially anti-social behaviour.
