Module 2A: Interim behaviour support plans
The Module 2A outcome interim behaviour support plans: every quality indicator the NDIS Practice Standards set for it (Module 2A 10.1, Module 2A 10.2, Module 2A 10.3), what an auditor asks to see under each, the common gaps, and a free worksheet to fill in.

Registered providers whose supports involve, or may involve, a regulated restrictive practice, including those implementing behaviour support plans (certification, Rules s 20). Specialist behaviour support on its own does not bring this module.
NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators on the standards library
The NDIS Commission's review of the Practice Standards (a proposed quality framework and changes to the standards and how they are assessed) is still being considered; nothing from it is in force.
The implementing provider collaborates with mainstream service providers such as police and other emergency services, mental health services and emergency departments, treating medical practitioners and other allied health clinicians in contributing to an interim plan developed by a specialist behaviour support provider.
- Records of mainstream service input passed to the specialist for the interim plan
- Case conference notes involving health or emergency services
- Consent to share information with mainstream services
- Interim plan developed without known mental health or police involvement
- No consent recorded for information sharing
The implementing provider works with the specialist behaviour support provider to support development of the interim behaviour support plan.
- Referral to the specialist for an interim plan with date
- Information supplied to the specialist for the interim plan
- Meeting or call notes during interim plan development
- Delay in referring the participant for an interim plan
- Implementing provider did not supply incident data
The implementing provider supports and enables workers to receive training in implementing the interim behaviour support plan.
- Records of interim plan training or briefings for each rostered worker
- Roster evidence of time allocated for training
- Sign-off sheets confirming workers read the interim plan
- Workers rostered with the participant not trained on the interim plan
- Training limited to permanent staff

Completing this worksheet records what your practice holds and where. It does not make a practice compliant or ready for audit, and it is not legal advice.
