The NDIS Support Worker Survival Toolkit

Support work is meaningful — but some days can feel overwhelming, confusing, or emotionally heavy.

This toolkit was created to guide you through those moments with clarity, calm, and confidence.

Inside, you’ll find simple, real-world tools to help you:

🌿 Write clear, confident shift notes

💬 Handle challenging situations with professionalism

🧠 Respond calmly when behaviour escalates

❤️ Set healthy boundaries while staying compassionate

📋 Navigate documentation + communication expectations

🧘‍♀️ Stay grounded on stressful days

This isn’t theory — it’s the kind of guidance you wish someone handed you on your first tough shift.

Whether you’re new to support work or already in the field, this toolkit is your pocket-mentor — reminding you that you’re capable, learning, and not alone.

Because great support work isn’t about knowing everything — It’s about showing up with care, learning every day, and growing forward.
