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.

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.

Extremely helpful in connecting us with an OT and speech therapist after we had rung countless providers and ended up on so many waitlists. Such a relief to finally get support, highly recommend

I went onto the website and put in my information, within two minutes I had a phone call. I spoke to Ellen who was absolutely lovely and did a fantastic job explaining everything I needed to know and making me feel calm in a situation I've never had to navigate before. Definitely recommend this company (and the happy Ellen) to any parent/person who's looking for help in a plan manager.
