COURSE OVERVIEW:

Welcome to the Delivering High Intensity Daily Personal Supports to NDIS Participants course. This program is designed to equip you with the knowledge and regulatory understanding required to safely and competently deliver complex personal care supports. High intensity supports play a critical role in the lives of participants with significant health needs, ensuring they can live safely and with dignity while receiving assistance tailored to their complex functional requirements.

High intensity daily personal supports are specialised care tasks that go beyond standard personal activities. This course begins by introducing the scope and importance of these supports, outlining the types of tasks involved and the clinical risks that must be managed. It clearly differentiates between standard care and high intensity support activities, and provides an overview of the NDIS Practice Standards and High Intensity Support Skills Descriptors which define the expected competencies and professional conduct for support workers delivering this level of care.

Compliance with the NDIS Practice Standards is essential for all providers and workers involved in delivering high intensity supports. This section focuses on the specific requirements of Module 1: High Intensity Daily Personal Activities, including how to interpret and apply the associated Skills Descriptors. It outlines key areas of compliance, such as care planning, staff training, and participant safety, and explains the importance of maintaining thorough documentation, participating in audits, and ensuring continuous quality improvement.

Support workers have significant responsibilities when assisting participants with high intensity needs. This section defines the scope of duties involved in delivering these supports, including the importance of operating within one's level of training and competence. It emphasises the need for clear communication and collaboration with healthcare professionals, allied health staff, and members of the participant’s support network. It also provides guidance on how to operate under appropriate supervision and delegation, ensuring that the worker understands their accountability within a clinical care framework.

Delivering effective high intensity support depends on person-centred communication and trust. This section explores how to engage with participants to understand their preferences, routines, and care needs, especially when the participant may have communication difficulties or behavioural complexities. It provides strategies for adapting communication styles, using visual or assistive tools, and ensuring participants feel respected, heard, and empowered in their own care.

Complex bowel care requires specialised training, attention to detail, and strict adherence to health protocols. This section explains how to understand and follow bowel management plans, administer enemas and suppositories, and support participants with stoma care. It also details how to recognise signs of bowel complications such as impaction, bleeding, or infection, and when to escalate concerns to clinical staff or emergency services.

Enteral feeding supports are provided to participants who are unable to consume nutrition orally. This section introduces the different types of enteral feeding (including nasogastric and PEG tubes) and explains how to administer feeds and medications safely through feeding tubes. The section also covers hygiene practices to prevent infections, correct storage and handling of formula, and monitoring for signs of intolerance, blockage, or aspiration.

Severe dysphagia poses significant risks, including choking and aspiration pneumonia. This section addresses how to recognise swallowing difficulties, implement texture-modified diets and fluid thickness requirements, and support participants during mealtimes using safe feeding techniques. It also explains how to respond effectively in emergencies, such as choking episodes, and how to document incidents to inform ongoing risk management.

Tracheostomy care involves maintaining airway patency and preventing respiratory complications. This section outlines the routine procedures required for cleaning and inspecting tracheostomy sites, identifying signs of infection or blockage, and responding to emergencies such as accidental decannulation or secretion build-up. It also emphasises the importance of calm, competent handling to ensure participant comfort and safety.

Ventilator support requires a thorough understanding of both the equipment and the participant’s respiratory needs. This section provides an overview of common ventilator types and functions, how to monitor ventilator settings, and how to observe the participant’s respiratory patterns. It also explains how to troubleshoot alarms, ensure power and backup systems are in place, and respond to disconnections or technical issues in a timely and safe manner.

Urinary catheter management involves intimate personal care with a strong focus on infection prevention. This section explains the different types of urinary catheters (including indwelling and suprapubic), how to perform routine care, and how to monitor for signs of urinary tract infections or blockages. It also includes guidance on maintaining hygiene, reporting abnormalities, and supporting participant dignity during catheter-related tasks.

Subcutaneous injections and diabetes management are common high intensity tasks involving daily monitoring and medication administration. This section covers how to correctly prepare and administer insulin or other subcutaneous medications, monitor blood glucose levels, and recognise signs of hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia. It also includes protocols for safe sharps disposal, infection control, and responding to diabetic emergencies.

Complex wound management is a high-risk support area requiring structured care plans and close monitoring. This section explores how to assess different wound types, select appropriate dressings, and follow clinical wound care instructions. It also provides strategies for preventing infection, promoting healing, and documenting wound progression to ensure continuity and accuracy in participant care.

Epilepsy support requires workers to be alert, confident, and informed. This section details the different types of seizures, how to recognise potential triggers, and how to follow individual seizure management plans. It also explains the steps involved in post-seizure care, maintaining safety, supporting recovery, and recording accurate information for care reviews and NDIS compliance.

Risk assessment and emergency preparedness are foundational to delivering high intensity supports safely. This section outlines how to conduct risk assessments for each participant, develop individualised emergency response plans, and ensure all staff are prepared to act swiftly in the event of complications. It also provides guidance on reporting incidents and near misses in line with NDIS quality and safeguarding requirements.

Infection control and hygiene practices must be upheld at the highest level when delivering high intensity personal care. This section covers the core principles of standard precautions, proper hand hygiene techniques, and appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE). It also details procedures for cleaning reusable equipment, managing exposure to bodily fluids, and ensuring environmental sanitation.

Documentation is not just an administrative task—it is essential to participant safety, accountability, and NDIS compliance. This section explains how to maintain accurate and timely records of each care activity, including medication administration, observed changes, and participant responses. It also addresses the ethical and legal importance of documentation, and how recorded data informs future care planning, audits, and reviews.

By the end of this course, you will be prepared to deliver high intensity daily personal supports that are safe, respectful, and compliant with all NDIS quality standards. Your role in supporting participants with complex needs is crucial to their independence, wellbeing, and ability to remain in their home or community setting with dignity and confidence.

Each section is complemented with examples to illustrate the concepts and techniques discussed.

Great enrichment
Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs
These are great for our 3 dogs, they’re durable and strong. The pup ford training treats fit great into these and it takes our dogs a good bit to get all the treats out. Easy to clean and a great enrichment toy, will buy again!

My dog looks forward to this every day
Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs
My dog used to have separation anxiety every time I left the house. I tried to find things to distract her when I left, but nothing kept her attention long enough for me to get out of the house. I stuff treats in this ball and she keeps focused and gets all of the treats out. Perfect solution to keep her occupied as I leave for work. Very easy to put treats in and I’ve had it for about 6 months now, which is great because my dog chews toys to pieces within days! High quality ball. I love it so much (well, my dog loves it so much), I bought one to give my neighbor’s dog.

Good toy, wish it was slightly bigger
Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs, Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs
I got the medium to large size ball for my elderly boxer who has suddenly taken to chewing on everything. The toy has been a decent purchase. Pros: not incredibly stiff plastic for elderly dogs. Easy to manipulate to put treats in the spikes. Easy to clean. Seems engaging for my dog. Cons: probably not for super chewers. This size is probably too small for large or extra large dogs. My dog can easily fit this in his mouth and I wish it was just a little bigger. The ball can only hold one mini milk bone per slot, so it makes for treats to be really easily pulled out. Can't comment on durability yet, haven't had it for long enough. Overall, I like this toy. I just wish it was slightly wider or bigger.

Durable, Fun, Useful!
Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs
This treat dispenser is so great! For one thing, it's sturdy and will last forever. It will get lost before it wears out. This is my second order because I can't find the first one . . . so I bought this pack of two. In one, I put peanut butter. In the second one, I put toothpaste, just a squirt for each opening. My dog LOVES to chew on this even after she has consumed 98% of whatever I put in there. In short, it occupies her attention, which is a blessing! It's both a treat and a toy. It also bounces well and can be thrown as a ball. It will LAST far longer than any ofher other balls, too. My dog has a tiny mouth and larger balls are too big or too hard for her. If I could give it more stars, I would!
