What is a Key Worker?

An NDIS Key Worker is a central support figure for children up to nine years old accessing the NDIS. They work closely with families and caregivers to help children achieve their goals while also coordinating and strengthening their support team.

 

Key Workers are qualified professionals, such as Occupational TherapistsSpeech Pathologists, or Early Childhood Educators, with specialized training in early childhood support. As your child's primary therapist, they will be your main point of contact throughout the journey.

What does an NDIS Key Worker do?

Key Workers have a wide range of responsibilities, including:

 

  • Developing personalised strategies for families to integrate into their daily routines, addressing their child's developmental requirements.
  • Coordinating services from other practitioners to support the child's development.
  • Delivering intensive assistance to educate and empower individuals surrounding the child, equipping them with essential skills to foster learning, growth, and engagement.
  • Guiding families through navigating the NDIS and accessing other community services tailored to their specific needs.
  • Providing easily understandable information to enable families to make well-informed decisions concerning their child's needs.
  • Facilitating connections between families and community-based services aimed at fulfilling their child's developmental needs.
