NDIS providers must think about how surveillance technology affects participants.

For example, it can take away a participant’s privacy.

When you have privacy, you can choose:

• what you want to keep to yourself
• what other people can know about you.

Technology can be unsafe when people use it the wrong way.

For example, using a camera to record someone in their bedroom.

This is not okay for NDIS providers to do.

It takes away a participant’s right to privacy.

NDIS providers should not use cameras in a participant’s:

• bedroom

• bathroom.

When NDIS providers use surveillance technology they must keep:

• participants safe
• their information safe.

Each state and territory have rules and laws that protect people’s privacy.

NDIS providers must follow these laws when they use surveillance technology.

NDIS providers must also follow the NDIS Code of Conduct.

The NDIS Code of Conduct is a list of rules about how NDIS providers should behave.

It explains how NDIS providers must:

• keep participants safe

• protect their rights and privacy.
