Description:
This fully customisable, comprehensive, and ready-to-use Duty of Care vs Dignity of Risk Toolbox Talk template is designed to support you as an NDIS provider in developing a safe, consistent, and person-centred approach to employee intake, onboarding, training, personal development and service delivery. It raises awareness, promotes discussion, and guides managers, employees, volunteers and contractors on how to manage an individual’s rights to make choices safely while still fulfilling their professional responsibilities to protect them from harm, aligning with the NDIS Practice Standards, relevant legislation, and best-practice guidelines.
This template ensure workers understand their legal and ethical obligation to take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable harm, to reinforce safe work practices, risk assessments, and reporting responsibilities, to remind staff that their actions (or inaction) can affect a person’s health, safety, and wellbeing, highlight each person’s right to make their own choices, even when these choices carry some level of risk, encourage workers to support informed decision‑making, rather than restricting opportunities out of fear of liability and promote independence, empowerment, and respect for individual autonomy.
Suitable for independent support workers, sole traders, unregistered & registered providers, medical and allied health professionals across Australia.
