Disability Services Act 1993

A prescribed disability service provider must have in place appropriate policies and procedures for ensuring the safety and welfare of persons using the service.

Note—

The nature of these policies and procedures will depend on the nature of the service provided but may include, for example, policies and procedures addressing:

• management of care concerns

• restrictive practices

• supported decision‑making and consent

• disclosure of abuse or neglect

• reporting of critical incidents

A prescribed disability service provider must ensure that the policies and procedures required under this section are reviewed on at least an annual basis.
