You might support someone with a psychosocial disability.

A psychosocial disability affects a person’s mental health.

If you provide this support, you can email Western Australian Association for Mental Health.

A Quality Assurance Panel is a group of people who check behaviour support plans.

They decide if a restrictive practice can happen.

They follow the rules in our policy about restrictive practices.

Providers can email Development Disability WA (DDWA)

ddwa@ddwa.org.au

DDWA can help providers find an external behaviour support practitioner for a Quality Assurance Panel.

External behaviour support practitioners are people that:

• need to be on all Quality Assurance Panels
• help to decide if a restrictive practice can happen.

The Government pays external practitioners from DDWA to be on Quality Assurance Panels.

We want to know what you:

• think about our bulletins
• want to learn about.

You can send an email.

arp@communities.wa.gov.au

We might include your question or topic in our next bulletin.

You can also contact the NDIS Commission if you have any questions about:

• restrictive practices
• how people support you.

You can send the NDIS Commission an email.
