Behaviour support and the use of regulated restrictive practices are considered high-risk supports, and are subject to additional requirements. An implementing provider is any NDIS provider that uses regulated restrictive practices when they deliver NDIS supports to a person with disability. The standards under Module 2A say that your service-for-one needs to connect with a specialist behaviour support provider or NDIS behaviour support practitioner to help develop a behaviour support plan. Providers also need to:
- •Educate workers
- •Report any incidents to the NDIS Commission that relate to the use of regulated restrictive practices
- •Get state or territory authorisation to use regulated restrictive practices
- •Report to the NDIS Commission every month to meet the requirements of the NDIS Restrictive Practices and Behaviour Support) Rules 2018.

We follow the Australian Government’s – National Framework for Reducing and Eliminating the Use of Restrictive Practices in the Disability Sector. Our staff are well-trained and receive ongoing training to implement positive behaviour support and apply regulated restrictive practice only when necessary, considering the safety of all involved.
