Some things are not a restrictive practice when using transport.

For example, some people need physical supports when they travel.

They may need a harness to:

• support their body

• be safe and comfortable.

This is not a restrictive practice.

There are some other things that are not restrictive practices during travel.

They include:

• child locks

• seat belts

• screens behind the back seat and driver

• a seat belt guard – that stops you from taking off your seat belt during travel.

These things are not restrictive practices when using transport because they:

• keep everyone safe on the road

• help NDIS providers follow Australia’s road rules.

For example, the law says everyone must wear a seat belt in a moving car.

NDIS providers should only use these things when a vehicle is moving.

They should not use these things to stop a participant from moving when a vehicle is parked.
