September 1-8, 2025
This week marks Adult Learners Week across Australia—a UNESCO-supported celebration of lifelong learning that reminds us it’s never too late to grow, develop, and enhance our skills. For disability support providers, there’s no better time to reflect on your team’s professional development journey and take meaningful action.
Why This Week Matters for Disability Services
Adult Learners Week isn’t just about individual growth—it’s about recognising that quality disability support depends on well-trained, confident, and continuously learning staff. When your team commits to ongoing education, the ripple effects reach every person you support.
The disability sector is constantly evolving. New best practices emerge, regulations update, and the expectations of participants and their families continue to rise. Your staff’s ability to adapt, learn, and grow directly impacts the quality of life for the people they support every day.
Learning Comes in Many Forms
Adult Learning Australia reminds us that learning can be:
- Formal: Structured qualifications and certifications
- Informal: Work-related training and professional development
- Spontaneous: Learning that happens through everyday experiences and challenges
At NGO Training Centre, we understand that disability support providers need flexible, practical training solutions that fit into busy schedules while delivering real-world impact.
Make This Week Count
Adult Learners Week is your call to action. Whether your team needs to refresh their knowledge of person-centered approaches, dive deeper into trauma-informed care, or develop stronger communication skills with participants and families, now is the time to invest.
Your commitment to staff development this week sends a powerful message: that you value both your employees and the people they support enough to prioritise continuous improvement.
