NDIS Incident Management and Reportable Incidents Rules on the standards library
The system must provide that an incident which is a reportable incident is also notified to the Commissioner and managed in accordance with Part 3, so that internal handling never substitutes for the statutory notification.
- Triage step or decision tree in the procedure that tests each incident against the reportable incident categories
- Register field flagging reportable status with the Commission notification reference
- Sample of reportable incidents cross-checked to Commission portal notifications
- Reportable incidents handled internally without a Commission notification
- Triage done only by frontline workers with no review
