Training that helps you do great support work
Good support workers aren't born knowing how — they're trained, supported and backed by people who've done the job. Asina Academy is our growing training and development program, delivered on the job, in person, in Armidale.
- Induction and shadow shifts before you ever work solo
- Standards set by 10+ years of frontline experience
- Ongoing supervision, feedback and development
Your training journey
From your first day to your hundredth shift — here's how we build great support workers.
Induction
Who we support, how we work, the NDIS Code of Conduct, and what good looks like at Asina.
Shadow shifts
Work alongside experienced workers with real participants before you go solo.
Solo, with support
Your own shifts and participants — with leadership a phone call away, always.
Keep growing
Ongoing supervision, feedback and new modules as your skills and classification grow.
What the Academy covers
The core modules every Asina worker goes through — with more added as the team grows.
The NDIS Code of Conduct
What it actually means on a real shift — not just a poster on a wall.
Person-centred practice
Supporting people's goals and choices, at their pace, their way.
Documentation & shift notes
Notes that families actually want to read — clear, respectful and useful.
Safe everyday support
Home safety, safe routines and knowing when to ask for help.
Communication & boundaries
Building real rapport while staying professional — the heart of the job.
Community access done well
Outings that build confidence and connection, not just fill hours.
What you'll need
To join the team, you'll need (or be willing to get):
