Restrictive Practices Authorisation and Consent Procedure
A restrictive practices authorisation and consent procedure for providers using regulated restrictive practices. It sets out how to assess capacity, obtain consent and secure state or territory authorisation before any practice starts, and how to keep authorisations current.
What is inside:
- Capacity assessment, informed consent and supported decision-making
- Consent hierarchy where the participant lacks capacity, and why family consent is not authorisation
- Jurisdiction matrix of authorising bodies and key legislation for all eight states and territories
- Five-step authorisation process, from identifying requirements to renewal
- Renewal alerts at 90 days and renewal started at 60 days before expiry
- NDIS Commission lodgement and monthly reporting obligations
- Record-keeping list, with records kept for at least 7 years
Good to know: the jurisdiction matrix is a summary as at July 2026. Confirm current arrangements with your state or territory authority. Consent alone never authorises a practice.
