Compliance and Accountability in the NDIS
The NDIS takes compliance and accountability very seriously, especially when it comes to the use of restrictive practices.
Strict Provider Requirements
Providers offering Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) must be registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. They are required to:
Ensure all restrictive practices are authorised.
Submit behaviour support plans for approval.
Report any unauthorised use of restrictive practices.
Continuous Improvement and Auditing
The NDIS Commission regularly audits providers to ensure they comply with regulations and best practices. This system of checks helps to:
Maintain high standards of care.
Ensure participants’ rights are protected.
Promote the continuous improvement of services.
This wraps up our series on Positive Behaviour Support in the NDIS. By understanding the processes and safeguards in place, participants and their families can better navigate their NDIS supports with confidence.
