Monitoring and Reporting Restrictive Practices: Essential Training for NDIS Workers
Why Monitoring and Reporting Matters
Restrictive practices—such as seclusion, chemical restraint, or mechanical restraint—should only ever be used as a last resort to keep participants safe. The NDIS Commission requires strict monitoring and reporting to ensure restrictive practices are minimised, closely tracked, and never misused.
For support workers, training in monitoring and reporting restrictive practices is essential. It ensures compliance, promotes participant rights, and reduces risks for both workers and providers.
