$24.99
Instant download. One-time purchase. Fully editable Word (DOCX).

A decision making, choice and supported decision-making policy and procedure for NDIS providers. It shows workers how to support participants to make their own decisions, and when substitute decision-making arrangements apply.

What is inside:

  • Definitions of decision-making capacity, supported decision-making, dignity of risk, undue influence and substitute decision-makers
  • Principles, starting with the presumption that every adult has capacity
  • Practical ways to support decisions: plain language, time, accessible formats and the participant's support network
  • Steps to follow when a participant may have limited capacity for a decision
  • Formal arrangements: guardians, administrators, plan nominees and enduring powers of attorney
  • Informal decision-making for everyday, low-risk decisions
  • Consent requirements and what workers must record

Good to know: guardianship and administration laws vary by state and territory. The document lists each jurisdiction's law and tribunal.

  • Reviewed against the current NDIS Rules, Practice Standards and Commission guidance
  • Editable DOCX with a placeholder legend, so you enter your details once
  • Instant download
