About the Webinar

With increased scrutiny on past practices, the NDIS Safeguards Commission has ramped up prosecutions and enforcement actions, putting pressure on NDIS providers to ensure compliance in all areas. Record-keeping, approvals for behaviour support, and incident management are under the spotlight, and failing to meet these standards can lead to serious consequences. This session will provide NDIS providers with the knowledge needed to stay compliant and avoid enforcement actions. It covers:

  • Overview of the NDIS Safeguards Commission’s recent prosecutions and enforcement actions
  • The heightened focus on record-keeping and documentation requirements for NDIS providers
  • Navigating approvals for behaviour support plans – what’s required and what’s at risk
  • Incident management: responding to and documenting incidents in compliance with NDIS rules
  • Educating and enforcing compliance among staff within NDIS services
  • Common pitfalls that have led to enforcement actions and strategies to avoid them
  • Practical tips for ensuring ongoing compliance in an evolving regulatory landscape
