The core set every provider needs
Regardless of registration group, expect to produce all of the following.
- Incident management, including reportable incidents and timeframes
- Complaints and feedback management, with participant facing information
- Risk management and work health and safety
- Emergency, disaster and business continuity planning
- Human resources: recruitment, screening, induction, supervision and training
- Participant rights: dignity, choice, consent, advocacy and privacy
- Records and information management, including retention and secure storage
- Service agreements, intake, assessment, support planning and review
- Conflict of interest and governance, including key personnel suitability
Extra documents by scope
Higher risk registration groups add their own requirements.
- Medication management for personal care and high intensity supports
- Mealtime management and dysphagia risk for relevant supports
- Restrictive practices and behaviour support, including authorisation processes
- Supported independent living: rostering, house rules, participant compatibility
- Transport and vehicle safety where you transport participants
Why generic templates fail
Auditors ask the person on shift to explain the incident process. If your document says something no worker recognises, the finding is against practice, not paperwork.
Every policy needs your named roles, your real timeframes, your actual forms, and a version and review date. Documents that do not name who does what are the most common non conformity we repair.
Keeping them current
Set a review cycle, record versions, and log training when a document changes. NDIS rules change and an out of date manual is treated as an absent one.
