What is this guide about?

This guide is about surveillance technology.

Surveillance technology includes devices that:

  • record what you do
  • track where you go
  • know when you move.

For example, devices like:

  • a camera that records what you say and do

  • a watch that tracks where you go

  • a sensor that can tell when you move.

Some NDIS providers use this technology.

NDIS providers support people with disability by delivering a service.

Sometimes this technology can make supports better.

But sometimes it can stop people from doing what they want.

In this guide we explain:

  • when NDIS providers might use this technology

  • what the rules are

  • how to make sure participants are safe.

Participants are people with disability who take part in the NDIS.
