Only registered NDIS providers can use restrictive practices.

When a NDIS provider is registered it means:

• we have checked them
• there are certain rules they must follow.

Your NDIS provider must tell us when they use restrictive practices.

They must also keep records about:

• when they use restrictive practices
• where they use restrictive practices
• why they use restrictive practices.

Your NDIS providers must only use restrictive practices:

• after trying other things first

• for the shortest time possible.

Your NDIS providers will work with you to:

• stop using restrictive practices
• use restrictive practice less.

Your NDIS provider must stop using restrictive practices when there is no risk of harm to:

• you
• other people.

They must use restrictive practices in ways that are safe for you.

You can ask your NDIS provider about what types of restrictive practices they:

• can use
• cannot use.

Each state and territory government has their own rules about restrictive practices.

This includes rules about how they approve restrictive practices.

When governments approve restrictive practices, they agree that someone can use them.
