About this Event

Through using each step in a safe transport plan to structure this workshop, we will address key concerns around safety, well-being, and comfort. We will dive into what a comprehensive safe transport assessment involves, beyond key client body measures and discuss recent advancements in the Australian-specific evidence base that have led to a wider range of specialised transport solutions across the lifespan.

A certificate of attendance will be provided to support CPD Credits.

Build confidence in safe transport from start to finish and beyond – Walk away with practical, immediately usable skills covering assessment, prescription, implementation and review to support safer real-world outcomes.

Get hands-on with the latest solutions – Trial the newly released Spex Safe2Go harness and be among the first to see emerging safe transport innovations.

Write stronger NDIS reports that improve outcomes– Learn insider tips on what funding bodies are looking for in reports, avoid common report writing pitfalls, and strengthen your NDIS funding requests for safe transport solutions.
