Description
The NDIS (Incident Management and Reportable Incidents) Rules 2018 require registered NDIS providers to have incident management systems.
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission says that:
-
- it is good practice for unregistered-providers to have an appropriate and effective incident management system for all participants; and
- having policies and procedures about incident management is a feature of quality practices providing support for children in the NDIS.
NDIS reforms may mean that many unregistered providers will have to implement incident management systems in the near future, and it’s a good idea to prepare.
However, translating the rules and guidance into plain English is time-consuming, and it’s hard to tailor a system to the needs of your NDIS participants and operations without a solid base.
This is our updated, plain English 28-page Incident Management and Reportable Incidents System Policy and Procedures Template (PDF and Word formats).
Written for small and medium-sized providers who are determined to improve support quality and safety.
Fully editable, so you can tailor it for your needs, and the needs of NDIS participants, and workers.
