We want to make sure people with disability:

  • can use supports and services they trust
  • are safe.

This includes finding the best way to control who can use restrictive practices.

Restrictive practices are actions that stop people from:

  • moving 
  • doing what they want.

We will encourage state and territory governments to have the same rules for restrictive practices.

We will also teach workers what they need to do to:

  • use less restrictive practices
  • stop using restrictive practices.

We will check the rules about who can make behaviour support plans.

A behaviour support plan is a document with steps to improve someone’s behaviour.

We will also improve the way we check risks to the supports and services that people can find and use.
