At the heart of every successful NDIS service is one crucial element: safety. But not just for participants—workers need protection too!
That’s why the NDIS Commission has just launched an amazing new online resource dedicated to reducing violence against workers. And trust us, this is a game-changer.
This resource is packed with up-to-date info and easy-to-navigate links to national, state, and territory resources designed to keep your team safe while they’re on the job. Developed in consultation with Unions, providers, and Work, Health, and Safety experts, it’s the ultimate toolkit for understanding and managing risks associated with worker violence in the disability sector.
Why should you care?
Because worker safety = better care. When your staff feels secure and supported, they can focus on what matters most: delivering the best possible care for NDIS participants. And that’s a win for everyone!
Take a moment to explore this important info and pass it on to any workers you employ. Whether you’re a small provider or a large organisation, we all play a role in creating a safer, more supportive environment.
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s work together to keep everyone safe, happy, and productive.

Safety doesn’t just happen. Let’s make it happen—together! 💪
