Zero Tolerance in Disability Support: Building a Safer Care Environment
Why Zero Tolerance Matters
Every person receiving care deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported. The Zero Tolerance Framework—developed by the NDS—reminds all disability and aged care workers that abuse, neglect, and exploitation are never acceptable.
For support workers, understanding and applying the Zero Tolerance approach isn’t just best practice—it’s an ethical and legal obligation under the NDIS Code of Conduct.

Identify signs of abuse or neglect early
Respond appropriately to disclosures or suspicions
Apply duty of care principles in every situation
