Training for Carers and Parents in Sydney

Building Skills, Confidence, and Connection

At The Konnections Project, we understand that being a carer or parent of someone with disability is both rewarding and demanding. That’s why we offer tailored training and support to help you feel confident, capable, and connected in your role.


Our carer and parent training sessions are delivered by experienced Behaviour Support Practitioners and designed to give you practical tools and knowledge to support your child or family member’s behaviour, communication, transitions, and development.

What Is Carer and Parent Training?

Our training is designed for family members, carers, and support networks of NDIS participants. It provides practical education, strategies, and emotional support to help you:


  • Understand behaviours and what drives them
  • Respond with calm, effective strategies
  • Strengthen relationships
  • Reduce carer stress and burnout
  • Build capacity to navigate the NDIS and implement plans confidently

We tailor every training experience to meet your unique circumstances. Your training may involve:


  • Face-to-face sessions at home or in the community
  • Telehealth appointments for flexibility and accessibility
  • Ongoing support through check-ins and review sessions

We cover key topics such as:


  • Understanding behaviours of concern
  • Practical strategies for daily routines and emotional regulation
  • Supporting positive behaviour at home or school
  • Preparing for transitions (e.g. school, housing, therapy changes)
  • Communication tools and interaction strategies
  • Managing carer stress and building support networks
