Project Aim

The project has established an Industry Steering Group of stakeholders to identify priority training elements in which to develop standardised non-accredited training, or a NDIS Positive Behaviour Support Restrictive Practice Micro Credential, for NDIS workers.

Benefits of the NDIS Restrictive Practice Micro Credential include: 

  • Delivered within a human rights framework
  • Assists organisations to better meet legislation relating to restrictive practices regulations
  • Builds staff confidence and capability to implement Positive Behaviour Support and reduce and eliminate restrictive practices
  • Tested and piloted with a cohort of forty people
  • Training that is portable across the industry
  • Reduces duplication, supports recruitment, retention and the rapid growth of the workforce involved in restrictive practices.
