There are rules about the use of restrictive practices.

NDIS providers must follow these rules.

For example, the use of restrictive practices must be written down.

They must be included in a behaviour support plan.

A behaviour support plan explains how other people should support a participant to live their best life.

It helps people understand their behaviour.

The rules also say NDIS providers must use restrictive practices:

• only after trying other things first

• for the shortest time possible.

NDIS providers also must find ways to:

• use restrictive practices less

• stop using restrictive practices.
