Frequently Asked Questions
These involve behaviours that harm, exploit or unfairly treat NDIS participants. Understanding NDIS abuse prevention helps protect participants' rights, safety, dignity and wellbeing.
Signs may include unexplained injuries, anxiety, withdrawal, poor hygiene, self-harm, behavioural changes and disturbed sleep. Recognising these signs can support early abuse prevention.
Reportable incidents include participant death, serious injury, abuse, neglect, unlawful sexual or physical assault, sexual misconduct and unauthorised restrictive practices.
Workers can follow NDIS Practice Standards, organisational policies, safeguarding procedures and reporting requirements while supporting participant rights and access to advocacy services.
Ensure the participant's safety, preserve evidence, document the incident and follow organisational reporting procedures. Criminal acts should be reported to police, with NDIS reportable incidents notified as required.
