Important Information for Supported Independent Living Providers NDIS Commission’s First ‘Own Motion’ Inquiry into Supported Accommodation
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission has recently released the findings of its first ‘own motion’ Inquiry looking at the experiences of NDIS participants living in supported accommodation.
For supported independent living (SIL) NDIS providers, it is important to consider these findings, and the actions that will now be taking place to improve long term outcomes. Read here for more information.
There will be an increased and strengthened focus on compliance, particularly around new SIL specific regulatory requirements, tenancy management, feedback and complaints, incident management, reportable incidents, training and restrictive practices.
A robust quality framework will be essential to fulfil these new requirements.
If you would like to discuss how you are meeting your requirements under the NDIS Practice Standards, and how you can prepare for these new compliance requirements please contact us on 0478 616 207 or info@engelsfloyd.com for a complimentary consultation.
