The Graduate Diploma in Disability aligns with the NDIS practice standards and quality indicators, rooted in the human rights principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and Australia's National Disability Strategy. This program highlights the compassionate and supportive aspects of disability care through a Christian perspective that welcomes diverse faith traditions. Students will explore inclusive practices, ethical considerations, person-centered support, and case management while developing expertise in applying inclusive approaches to policies, programs, and practical implementations. The curriculum builds leadership competencies for advancing quality and innovation in disability services and related health/human service fields where specialized disability knowledge is applied. Embedded throughout is a Christian perspective that acknowledges the nurturing dimension of disability support. Designed for working professionals, this program offers a thorough educational experience with the convenience of online study options.
