In late 2021, the NDIS Provider Registration and Practice Standards Rules and NDIS Quality Indicators for Practice Standard Guidelines were amended. One of the key new requirements was a new practice standard for emergency and disaster management. Among other things, this new standard requires NDIS providers to prepare, prevent, manage and respond to emergency and disaster situations** whilst mitigating the risks to and ensuring the continuity of supports that are critical to the health, safety and wellbeing of NDIS participants.

In this 16-page resource, we provide a template framework designed to help small- and medium-sized NDIS providers to demonstrate compliance with the new practice standard.
