Several sociocultural contexts will be explored for example cultural differences as well as rural and remote services. Topics covered include the service provision process and key characteristics of inclusive services, for example independence and control, informed decision making, consent, capacity building, advocacy, power dynamics and the relationship between service providers and service users and individualisation through Family-centred and Person-centred approaches. Preparation for, and the impact of the NDIS.
