Working with children checks: Working with children checks are state and territory law, which this list does not cover. Whether a worker needs one, and the exemptions, are set by each state: Queensland, for example, exempts registered health practitioners acting in their professional capacity in specified circumstances. See the state laws page. NDIS worker screening is a separate clearance under the NDIS rules.

| P-6 | Behaviour support works with the family and child to understand why behaviour occurs, produces a behaviour support plan with strategies to meet the child's needs and build skills, includes a plan to reduce and eliminate restrictive practices, and reviews progress with the family, following state and territory laws. A provider never forces a child, isolates them as punishment, takes down, holds down or pins down a child (such as bear hugs or basket holds), withholds a desired activity because the child refused something, yells at the child, or restricts a body part with a strap or garment to develop another when no progress is being made; restrictive practices not in a behaviour support plan are not used.

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.
