Disability support went from a charity model to a rights-and-regulation model, and a lot of workers were never retrained for it. This program teaches the current frame: the participant decides, active support beats doing-for, restrictive practices are regulated, and some incidents must be reported to the NDIS Commission whether or not your employer wants them to be. Nationally recognised qualifications and worker screening sit with the relevant registered providers and regulators, not with Genutive.
Every week has its modules, a learning outcome, and an assessed submission with a deadline.
Week 1
The social model of disability and what changes when you use it; the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in practical terms; what the NDIS is for and how a plan is structured — core, capacity building, capital; choice and control as an operating rule, not a slogan; the NDIS Code of Conduct and Practice Standards; worker screening and why it exists.
By the end of this week you can
Read a participant's plan and explain which of their goals your role is funded and expected to support.
Assessed this week
Plan interpretation exercise plus written responses on choice and control in conflict scenarios. Quiz on the Code of Conduct. Due end of week 1.
Week 2
Turning a plan goal into this week's support; active support and graded assistance — helping someone do it rather than doing it for them; supporting daily living, health appointments, transport, and money handling; community participation and social connection; communication access — Easy Read, augmentative and alternative communication, Auslan awareness, and working with an interpreter; consent in everyday interactions.
By the end of this week you can
Convert a plan goal into a realistic week of support that builds the participant's capability rather than their dependence.
Assessed this week
Support plan for one week against a supplied goal, marked on whether it builds skill or substitutes for it. Peer review within your cohort group. Due end of week 2.
Week 3
Behaviour as communication and identifying its function; how a positive behaviour support plan is built and why you must follow it; the five regulated restrictive practices and how they happen accidentally; de-escalation and environmental change; abuse, neglect, and exploitation in disability settings; reportable incidents and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission; what to do when the person you must report is your employer.
By the end of this week you can
Respond to a behaviour of concern within the participant's plan, and correctly identify whether what occurred is reportable.
Assessed this week
Behaviour and safeguarding scenario set, including one scenario where the correct answer is to make a report. Due end of week 3.
Week 4
Progress notes written against plan goals so the evidence exists at plan review; shift notes and handover; working with allied health, support coordinators, and families; work health and safety in someone else's home; lone-working risk and duress procedures; self-care and burnout; screening checks, interview expectations, and the questions providers ask.
By the end of this week you can
Document support in a way that demonstrates progress toward funded goals and survives a plan review.
Assessed this week
Capstone: an integrated shift scenario with a behaviour incident, a reporting decision, and the resulting documentation, reviewed by a tutor panel. Job-readiness pack. Due end of week 4.
A Genutive Industry Ready Certificate for this pathway, showing the assessed components and your Merit Score, plus a published project showcase and a rebuilt resume.
Yes — all modules, live sessions, and assessments are online. Where a program has a supervised practical component, that part is arranged with a partner provider and is explained in the curriculum for the week it falls in.
It depends on the program, and the consultation is where that gets checked properly. Some pathways assume an existing qualification or trade background; others are entry points. We would rather turn you away than take a fee for a program you cannot complete.
You can enrol from anywhere. Employment, internship, and any supervised practical component depend on your work rights and location, which your advisor will go through with you before you commit.

Consultation-led — not instant enrolment
Programs listed here are delivered through partner providers and advisor-led consulting pathways. Certification outcomes depend on program completion and assessment requirements. Genutive does not guarantee employment or visa approval.
Four weeks, online, with the same rhythm every week so you can plan around it.
Two scheduled live sessions each week with the program tutor — one teaching session and one working session for questions, code or case review, and feedback. Sessions are recorded. Tutor time is deliberately limited: it is there for the parts that need a person, not to re-read the modules to you.
Each week releases a set of modules with readings, walkthroughs, and practice tasks. Expect eight to twelve hours of self-paced work a week on top of the live sessions.
A short knowledge check closes each week's modules. You see your result immediately, and you can retake it until you pass — but only the first attempt counts toward your Merit Matrix quiz score.
Every week has a submitted piece of work with a deadline. Tutors mark it and return written feedback. Late submissions are accepted and marked, but on-time submission is what the Merit Matrix rewards.
The final week is a capstone reviewed by a tutor panel. It becomes the centrepiece of your project showcase, which is visible on your Genutive profile.
You are placed in a small peer group for the four weeks. Some tasks are collaborative and peer-reviewed, and collaboration is a scored component of the Merit Matrix — because it is the part of the work employers complain is missing.
Your Merit Score is calculated from four components. It is not a participation award, and it follows you into the job marketplace where employers can see it.
Tutor-marked weekly tasks and the capstone. The largest component, because it is the closest thing to the actual job.
Attendance at the scheduled live sessions. Recordings help you catch up on content, but they do not earn attendance.
First-attempt results on the weekly knowledge checks.
Peer review you give and receive, and contribution to group tasks.
A Merit Score of 70 or above moves your enrolment to Career Ready. That is the point at which the employer network, internship consideration, and marketplace visibility open up. Below 70 you keep the certificate of completion and can be reassessed, but Career Ready is a threshold, not a formality.
Internship placement is offered to successful candidates only. "Successful" means you complete the program and reach the Career Ready threshold of 70 on the Merit Matrix. Even then, a placement depends on a partner or employer having a suitable position open at the time, in a location where you hold the right to work. Genutive does not guarantee an internship, and does not guarantee a job. What we do guarantee is that you will be visible to the employers in our network with real, assessed evidence attached to your name rather than a claim on a resume.
A Genutive Industry Ready Certificate naming the program, the assessed components, and your Merit Score. It records what you actually did, which is why we can put the score on it.
Your capstone is published to your Genutive profile with the tutor panel's review, so an employer can look at the work rather than take your word for it.
A resume rebuilt around what you can now evidence, plus interview practice for the specific roles the program targets.
Career Ready candidates become visible to employers in the Genutive network and can be matched to roles in the job marketplace.
Program fees are set during your consultation. They depend on the program, your starting point, and whether a partner provider is delivering a regulated component alongside it — so a single advertised price would be misleading more often than it was accurate. The consultation is where you find out the fee, and there is no obligation attached to it.
