Description:
This fully customisable, comprehensive, and ready-to-use Participant Duty of Care vs Dignity of Risk - Policy & Procedures template is designed to support you as an NDIS provider in developing a safe, consistent, and person-centred approach to outlining how the organisation balances its duty of care responsibilities with the dignity of risk rights of participants. It establishes a consistent approach for supporting participants to make their own choices, take informed risks, and participate fully in their own lives while ensuring safety and wellbeing, aligning with the NDIS Practice Standards, relevant legislation, and best-practice guidelines.
This template helps promote respect for each participant’s autonomy, rights, and individual decision‑making, ensures workers understand their duty of care obligations and how these interact with participants’ right to take reasonable risks, provides guidance for assessing, managing, and documenting risks in a way that supports independence and choice, fosters a culture that values empowerment, inclusion, and self‑determination and complies with relevant legislation, human rights principles, and quality and safeguarding frameworks.
Suitable for independent support workers, sole traders, unregistered & registered providers, medical and allied health professionals across Australia.
