About Disability Training Services
Our vision and passion is to ensure that individuals in the aged care and disability (NDIS) sectors are supported by qualified staff and people who have the right values. Our courses are designed to teach you best practices so that you are equipped and ready to go once qualified.
We want students who have a passion for empowering our ageing population and those with a disability to be more independent. Working in the aged care and disability sectors can be tough and very task orientated. Bringing empathy into the mix can allow you to become a better carer and connect with your residents and clients.
Having the right attitude is key to a successful career in aged care and disability. If you are joining this industry because you believe it's easy, then this is wrong career for you. Working in the aged care and disability sectors can be tough but rewarding. You have to have passion and the willingness to support clients and residents to achieve their goals.
