We design learning that changes behaviour, not just transfer knowledge. Every session connects directly to everyday decisions, conversations, and challenges in disability support.
Because when people see themselves in the learning, they lean in.
Our flagship programs, Rise and Empathy-Enhanced Support
brings those philosophies to life.
Rise builds confident, capable frontline leaders who know how to motivate, delegate, and keep teams focused on quality outcomes — not just tasks.
Empathy-Enhanced Support goes deeper, helping staff understand the human experience behind behaviour, communication, and change. It turns empathy into action and transforms everyday interactions into moments of progress.
We use reflection, micro-learning, and coaching to create habits that stick.
When training connects head, heart, and habit, people don’t need to be told to do better — they want to.
“Supporting Potential gave our team more than just training — it gave them confidence.
These specific NDIS staff training courses helped our staff reflect on themselves as leaders and develop skills directly relevant to the realities of disability support.
Since completing the program, our frontline turnover has dropped significantly, and our team feels more motivated and equipped to handle the daily challenges of their roles.”

Online learning (self-paced, approx. 20 mins per module) + Customised workshops for your team or service, or individuals can join scheduled Face-to-face sessions.

Empowering Disability Sector Leaders to
- Rise with Purpose,
- Support with Insight.
- Lead with Impact.
RISE is not just a leadership course. It’s a transformation journey tailored for current and emerging frontline leaders in disability support services.
Built on deep sector experience and the real challenges faced by frontline teams, RISE delivers practical tools, real-world scenarios, and leadership development that drive measurable improvements for staff, clients, and the organisation.
Organisations are ready to build accountable, values-led teams who deliver high-quality, person-centred support.
More specifically:
Frontline leaders in disability and community support services, Team leaders, house supervisors, or coordinators wanting to grow their leadership capability.
and
Emerging leaders who have the skill and desire but aren’t quite there yet.
Each module is grounded in the day-to-day realities of frontline leadership.
Whether it’s learning how to delegate tasks without losing quality, responding to bias in the workplace, or creating motivation in a fatigued team, RISE helps leaders react with confidence and clarity.
Frontline management is often the most expensive, yet underutilised section of the organisation.
People don't leave companies. They leave bad managers.
58% of organisations highlight that they have difficulties in recruiting disability support workers, and 47% say they are having problems in retaining (NDS State of the Sector 2024).
The average Turnover rate for casual staff is 24 per cent. Turnover for permanent staff is 16 per cent, but many NDIS organisations are reporting far higher statistics.
Transforming Disability Support Through Human Connection and Foundational Skill Mastery.
Build the Skills That Build Skills.
Proper person-centred support begins with empathy.
Not just as a feeling but as a trained, practical capability.
Our Empathy-Enhanced Practice Program equips disability support workers with the emotional intelligence, communication tools, and self-awareness needed to truly connect with the people they support.
The NDIS team training program combines seven foundational micro-skills with immersive face-to-face simulation training, ensuring your team doesn't just know person-centred practice but lives it every day.
Each self-paced module develops a key skill essential for high-quality, human-first support:
Face-to-Face Training Day: From Theory to Practice. After completing the online modules, participants come together for a dynamic, in-person workshop where they:
"You can't teach empathy by PowerPoint, but you can build it through guided experience, reflection, and practice."
Empathy isn’t just a soft skill—it’s a critical support strategy. Let’s help your team lead with it.
