Regulated Restrictive Practices

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.
