Looking to create a sustainable, skilled disability support team? Investing in traineeships may be the answer.
Across Australia, disability support providers are feeling the pressure of a growing workforce shortage.
With the expansion of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and a shift towards in-home and community-based care, the demand for qualified support workers is only increasing.
For small to medium providers, this isn’t just a staffing issue; it’s a barrier to growth, service delivery and long-term sustainability.
Vacant roles stay open for weeks. Rosters are stretched. Staff are burning out.
So how do you build a reliable, skilled team without getting stuck in the constant cycle of recruitment?
Embracing an Individual Support Traineeship could be the perfect solution.
An Individual Support Traineeship provides employees with a nationally recognised qualification – a Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability) –through a structured, on-the-job training program.
It’s designed to build practical skills, confidence and long-term commitment while your trainee actively contributes to your team.
Traineeships give you a practical, supportive way to grow your own workforce.
Through a Group Training Organisation (GTO) like Community Solutions, you can host trainees who learn on the job while completing a Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability), all while we manage the employment, training and admin behind the scenes.
This means you can strengthen your team, reduce recruitment pressure and build loyalty without HR headaches.
