Social Workers are dedicated professionals focused on improving the well-being of individuals and communities. They assist people facing various challenges by offering emotional support, practical guidance, and access to essential resources. Social Workers help participants and their families manage life's difficulties, address mental health issues, navigate social services, and foster positive change in their lives.

NDIS Social Worker Roles:

1. Assessment and Support Planning:

NDIS Social Workers perform comprehensive assessments to identify participants' unique needs, strengths, and goals. They collaborate with participants to create personalized support plans tailored to their specific requirements.

2. Emotional and Practical Support:

Social Workers provide emotional support and practical assistance to NDIS participants, helping them cope with the challenges of living with a disability and empowering them to achieve greater independence and well-being.

3. Advocacy:

NDIS Social Workers advocate for their clients, ensuring their voices are heard and their rights upheld within the NDIS system. They assist with accessing supports across various sectors to ensure comprehensive and integrated care.

4. Mental Health:

Social Workers can address the mental health needs of NDIS participants. They offer counseling, therapy, and support for managing mental health conditions effectively.

5. NDIS Planning:

Social Workers can assist NDIS participants in preparing for planning meetings and advocate for the inclusion of necessary supports and services.

• The values, qualifications and skills of social workers constitute a precise match with the person-centred approach of the NDIS. Social work practice is across the life span, and this includes working with children, adults, families, carers, groups and communities.  

• Most importantly, social workers work alongside people with a disability to facilitate their empowerment (and that of their families), to achieve their needs, goals and aspirations.
