We’re excited to announce the launch of our new online NDIS Restrictive Practices Training Course, specifically designed for employees, contractors, and volunteers working in healthcare, aged care, and disability services. This course is essential for anyone who may encounter restrictive practices in their role, helping them understand the ethical, legal, and practical implications of using these methods in care settings.

What Are NDIS Restrictive Practices?

Restrictive practices refer to measures or interventions that limit an individual’s freedom of movement or access to certain liberties. While often used in healthcare and disability care environments to ensure safety, they are controversial and heavily regulated due to their impact on an individual’s rights and dignity.

The goal is to always use restrictive practices only as a last resort, ensuring they are applied in the least restrictive manner possible while maintaining the safety of the individual and others around them.

Why Is This Training Important?

Our NDIS Restrictive Practices Training Course equips staff with the knowledge and tools to use restrictive practices appropriately. It ensures that restrictive practices are applied correctly and ethically while promoting safer and more effective alternatives. This is not just a legal requirement but also a critical part of maintaining a respectful and ethical approach to care.
