Supported Decision-Making
e-Learning

Build your confidence as a decision supporter. We have designed three eLearning modules to help you:

  • Understand the aims and intention of supported decision-making,

  • Explore your role in building the decision-making capability of others,

  • Develop strategies to minimise your influence.

The modules are free and take only half an hour each to complete.

Once you start a module, you can save, exit and return to it at any time.

Certificates of completion are issued when each module has been completed.

Module 1 – An Introduction to Supported Decision-Making

This module explores:

  • What supported decision-making is,

  • Where it comes from,

  • Why it is important,

  • How it is different to substituted decision-making and

  • How it can support people to exercise their legal capacity.

Module 2 – Building Decision-Making Capability

This module explores:

  • Why we need to think about capacity differently,

  • How we can improve a person’s decision-making environment,

  • How we can make adjustments to the decision-making process and

  • Why supported decision-making changes the starting point.

Module 3 – Supporter Influence

This modules explores:

  • Why we need to minimise our influence as supporters,

  • How the approach we take to our role shapes our support,

  • Why we should acknowledge our biases,

  • How we can work to mitigate our biases and

  • Why we need to focus on a good process.

These e-Learning modules have been developed as part of the Commonwealth ILC Project, Living My Life Project, in partnership with SAHMRI and the South Australian Department for Health and Wellbeing.
