Continuity and Backup Plan

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

An editable continuity and backup plan for independent support workers. It sets out how supports continue if you are unwell, on leave or unable to deliver an agreed support. It also covers what happens if you stop trading.

What is inside:

  • Triggers, from illness and planned leave to loss of clearance, disasters and business cessation
  • Backup arrangements table: contact, relationship, contact details, scope of cover and date last verified
  • Rules for backups: their own ABN, insurance and agreement, with the participant choosing whether to engage them
  • Participant communication within 24 hours where possible, including a nominated continuity contact
  • Information transfer to a backup only with written consent
  • Steps if you cannot return within 14 days or are leaving the business permanently
  • Review annually, after each activation and when a backup arrangement changes

Good to know: where supports must come from a registered provider, such as under NDIA-managed funding, the backup must also be registered.

  • 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
