Our Burnout Prevention Caseload Model considers more than whether there is an empty appointment in your calendar. We consider caseload mix and complexity, agreed working hours, planned leave and the work that happens around participant appointments too.

The Role

Working within the goals identified in each participant's NDIS plan, you'll use your professional knowledge and experience to plan, deliver and review individualised Capacity Building intervention within your professional scope.

Depending on the participant's goals and your professional background, your work may include:

Intervention is purposeful and linked to the participant's identified goals. Depending on the skill being developed,



sessions may use developmentally appropriate strategies such as structured activities, visual supports, guided play, movement-based tasks, modelling, skill rehearsal and practical everyday scenarios.

The activity isn't the intervention — the skill we're building is.

Our focus is on helping participants develop skills and strategies that can increasingly transfer beyond the session and into everyday life.
