About Us
About Us
At DS Academy, we believe that disability support staff deserve training that is practical, affirming, and accessible. Training that reflects the realities of frontline work and empowers professionals to grow with confidence.
We provide short-format, compliance-aligned e-learning courses designed for frontline disability workers across Australia. Our modules are built to help staff respond effectively to Risk of Harm Behaviours (RoHBs), strengthen audit readiness, and promote trauma-informed, rights-based practice.
Our content is mapped to NDIS Practice Standards and informed by the Positive Behaviour Support Capability Framework, the NDIS Code of Conduct, and trauma-informed care principles.
We’re here to support your growth—whether you’re onboarding new staff, refreshing your skills, or preparing for your next career step. DS Academy courses can help you build confidence, strengthen your professional profile, and position yourself for future opportunities in leadership, coordination, or specialist roles.
We’re proud to be part of the disability sector and committed to building safer, more responsive services; one course at a time.
