Welcome Home – compliance training


Welcome Home is a package of compliance education resources for registered providers of Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). 

The package includes training modules, management tools and audio-visual resources. They are designed to help tenancy management staff, Board and executive team members understand their service obligations under the SDA Practice Standards and explore a rights-based approach to service delivery.

How does it work?

The Welcome Home package offers a series of 6 training modules (see below) that explain the Practice Standards for SDA and provide detailed information about the performance outcomes and indicators. Additional tools and resources explore good practices and strategies to support a rights-based approach to service delivery and include stories and insights from SDA tenants. The resources are free to access and are designed for free self-paced learning.
