NDIS Code of Conduct

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian social security program that provides financial assistance to people with a disability.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) code of conduct is a set of principles that guide the behavior of NDIS participants. The code of conduct is designed to promote the safety, dignity, and inclusion of people with disability.

The code of conduct applies to all NDIS participants, including providers, employees, contractors, volunteers, and other people who provide services to people with disability. The code of conduct is binding on all NDIS participants and must be followed at all times.

4 principles of the NDIS code of conduct

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) code of conduct provides guidance to all NDIS participants on how they are expected to behave when interacting with people with disability.

The code of conduct is made up of four principles:

• Safety-The safety principle requires NDIS providers to take all reasonable steps to protect the health, safety, and wellbeing of people with disability.

The code is designed to protect the safety and wellbeing of people with disability and to promote the rights of people with disability to live in a safe and inclusive community.

• Dignity-The dignity principles are designed to ensure that all participants in the NDIS are treated fairly and with respect. They provide guidance on how to create an inclusive environment where everyone can participate and feel valued.
• Inclusion-The NDIS code of conduct sets out the principles of inclusion that underpin the scheme. The principles of inclusion are respect, choice, partnership, dignity, rights, empowerment, and participation. The code of conduct applies to all participants in the NDIS, including people with a disability, their families and careers, service providers, and NDIS staff.

• Respect- The code of conduct aims to ensure that people with a disability, their families, and their careers are treated with respect and dignity and that their rights are protected. The code of conduct also sets out the expectations of NDIS participants, providers, and employees in relation to their behavior and interactions with each other.
