Applying for the NDIS can be life-changing for someone—but it can also incredibly complex!

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.

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.
