Participant Health and Wellbeing Policy and Procedure

A participant health and wellbeing policy and procedure for NDIS providers. It sets out how workers monitor participants' physical and mental health during supports, and how the business responds when something changes.

What is inside:

• Purpose, scope and policy commitments, from identifying health needs at intake to keeping confidential health records
• Responsibilities for management and workers, including respecting the participant's right to make decisions about their own health
• Indicators to monitor each session: physical health, mental health, medication effects, nutrition and hydration, skin and pressure areas, and behaviour
• Steps for responding to a health concern: document it, notify management the same day, call 000 if health is at immediate risk, then follow up
• Health care plans to have in place, such as manual handling, emergency, mealtime, medication and behaviour support plans
• Mental health and trauma-aware practice
• Training requirements and the records that show the policy is applied
• Relevant legislation, including WHS variations by state and territory

• Reviewed against the current NDIS Rules, Practice Standards and Commission guidance
