The NDIS Code of Conduct

---

The NDIS Code of Conduct is a set of rules that all workers and providers delivering NDIS supports must follow. It ensures that people with disabilities receive respectful, safe, and competent care. The key points are:

• Respect individual rights to freedom of expression, self-determination, and decision-making, in line with the law.
• Respect the privacy of people with disabilities.
• Deliver services safely, with care and competence.
• Act with integrity, honesty, and transparency.
• Address and act on concerns about the quality and safety of services.
• Take steps to prevent and respond to violence, exploitation, neglect, and abuse.
• Take steps to prevent and respond to sexual misconduct.

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), supports thousands of Australians with disabilities or mental health issues, ensuring they receive quality care at affordable costs. It provides peace of mind to families, knowing their loved ones are well cared for.

NDIS Explained

• National: The NDIS is gradually being rolled out across all states and territories.

• Disability: The NDIS supports eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive, or psychosocial disabilities. It also offers early intervention for people with disabilities or children with developmental delays.

• Insurance: The NDIS ensures that if someone is born with or acquires a significant disability, they will get the support they need.

• Scheme: The NDIS is not a welfare system. It aims to help people improve their skills and independence over time.

What is the NDIS Code of Conduct?

The NDIS Code of Conduct sets clear standards of behavior that participants should expect from providers. These rules apply to both registered and unregistered providers delivering NDIS services. All service provider workers, including support workers and community partners (such as Local Area Coordinators), must also follow the code to ensure quality care for participants.
