How to Support People to Apply for the NDIS - Free Online Webinar

Applying for the NDIS can be life-changing for someone—but it can also incredibly complex! This free webinar is designed to equip those people aligned with walking alongside people applying for the NDIS to with practical knowledge and insight into the NDIS application process. If you are a health professional, support worker, or community connector, this one is for you!

About the Webinar

At The Peer Practice, we don’t just talk about support—we live it. Our team of Lived Experience professionals have helped individuals successfully navigate the NDIS application process, often after years of being misunderstood or overlooked. We understand that the process itself can be triggering, emotionally exhausting, and sometimes even traumatic—especially for those who’ve had to repeatedly justify their struggles or been told they’re “not disabled enough.”

This session brings together our real-world experience and professional know-how to help you support others with confidence and clarity. By learning from us, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the emotional impacts of the NDIS journey—and how to respond with empathy, validation, and practical support that truly makes a difference.


What You’ll Learn

  • What makes a strong NDIS application—and what commonly gets missed!

  • How to document a person’s disability in a way that reflects lived reality

  • Practical strategies for supporting someone through the emotional and administrative journey

  • The unique role of peer support in building trust, reducing overwhelm, and fostering hope


Who Should Attend?

  • Mental health professionals

  • Support coordinators

  • Community workers

  • Loved ones and family members

  • If you’re hoping to apply for the NDIS yourself and wanting some ideas of what is required

  • Anyone who may be in a role that will need them to refer and support people through the NDIS journey

Whether you’re new to the NDIS or want to sharpen your skills, this webinar will give you tools you can use immediately—and a deeper understanding of what it means to truly walk beside someone.


Why It Matters

The NDIS can be life-changing—but only if people can access it. For many, including those living with psychosocial disability, the application process is not just paperwork—it’s personal. That’s why it’s so important for professionals and support workers to understand not just the technical side of the NDIS—but the human side.

This webinar will help you learn how to guide someone through the process with clarity, compassion, and confidence. You’ll gain insight into how to hold space for someone’s story, validate their experience, and offer practical support that doesn’t add to their overwhelm.

By attending this session, you’ll not only build your skills—you’ll deepen your understanding of what it truly means to support someone through a system that can feel impersonal and inaccessible. And you’ll leave with tools that help you make a real difference.
