The NDIS Independent Advisory Council’s (the Council) paper ‘choice and control to safely live a good life of belonging and citizenship’ recognises the system-wide focus on improving supports for people with disability who are at risk of harm. In response to this paper, the NDIA committed to developing a NDIA Participant Safeguarding Policy (Policy) to guide and enhance the way the NDIA works with NDIS participants and people with disability.

This Policy aligns to the objects and principles set out in the:

• United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 
• United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 
• National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (the NDIS Act)
• NDIS Quality and Safeguarding Framework (the NQS Framework)
• The Safety TAP
• NDIA’s Participant Service Charter
• NDIS Code of Conduct 
• NDIS Practice Standards 
• Other applicable acts and instruments.
