• Description:

  This fully customisable, comprehensive, and ready-to-use Delegation of Authority Policy and Procedures template is designed to support you as an NDIS provider in developing a safe, consistent, and person-centred approach to provide a clear framework for how decision‑making powers are assigned and exercised within an organisation. It ensures that authority is delegated appropriately, transparently, and in line with governance and accountability requirements, aligning with the NDIS Practice Standards, relevant legislation, and best-practice guidelines.

  This template defines authority levels – specify who can make what types of decisions, approve expenditures, sign contracts, or commit organisational resources, ensures that individuals understand their responsibilities and remain accountable for decisions made under delegated authority, maintains oversight and control while enabling management and worker to act efficiently within approved limits, avoids unnecessary delays by empowering qualified workers to make timely decisions within established boundaries, ensures all actions and decisions align with laws, regulations, policies, and internal controls and sets out when and how matters should be referred to higher authority (e.g., senior management or the board).
