Course Description

The purpose of this course is to build knowledge and skills for support workers, managers, and allied health staff in understanding, identifying, and safely responding to situations involving mechanical restraint.

Learners will gain a clear understanding of what constitutes mechanical restraint under the NDIS Rules, the risks and impacts associated with its use, and the legal and ethical obligations that govern it.

The course aims to ensure that staff can make informed, person-centred decisions that uphold human rights, reduce harm, and contribute to the reduction and eventual elimination of restrictive practices.

Course Outcomes

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Define mechanical restraint and distinguish it from therapeutic or assistive device use.
  • Identify the risks, impacts, and human rights concerns associated with mechanical restraint.
  • Apply the principles of safe use, including last resort, authorisation, and duration limits.
  • Recognise when mechanical restraint may constitute abuse and understand mandatory reporting requirements.
  • Implement monitoring, observation, and documentation processes in line with NDIS expectations.
  • Collaborate with families, allied health professionals, and teams to develop behaviour support plans that reduce and eliminate restrictive practices.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of compliance obligations under the NDIS Commission and organisational policies.
  • Apply practical strategies and alternatives to reduce reliance on mechanical restraint and promote positive behaviour support.
