Equip disability and aged-care workers with a practical, step-by-step method to create, implement, and review a Risk Management Plan (RMP) that protects participants while upholding choice, control, and dignity of risk. The session translates NDIS Practice Standards into everyday actions like hazard identification, risk rating, least-restrictive controls, documentation, escalation, and review so teams can prevent incidents, learn from near misses, and demonstrate compliance to auditors and families.
Define key terms (hazard, risk, likelihood, consequence, dignity of risk) and explain why person-centred risk management is essential in NDIS services.
Apply a structured method to identify hazards across environment, people, process, equipment, and information for typical support activities.
Use a likelihood–consequence matrix to rate risks consistently and prioritise high/critical risks for immediate action.
Select and justify controls using the hierarchy (eliminate → PPE), ensuring options are least-restrictive and aligned with participant goals.
Document an RMP that clearly states controls, roles and responsibilities, monitoring, escalation triggers, and review timelines.
Integrate the RMP with incident reporting, emergency procedures, PBS/clinical guidance, privacy and consent requirements.
Escalate and communicate effectively during changes in condition, near misses, or incidents, and initiate a timely RMP review.
Demonstrate compliance readiness by producing audit-ready evidence of consultation, implementation, and continuous improvement.
