Risk Assessed Role Register
 
A "risk assessed role" in the context of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia refers to a job or function that has been identified as having potential risks associated with it, especially concerning the safety and wellbeing of NDIS participants. These roles are typically designated as such because they involve direct, often unsupervised, contact with participants, making it crucial to manage these risks appropriately. Key Features of a Risk Assessed Role:
 
Direct Participant Contact: The role involves direct interaction with NDIS participants, which can include personal care, support in daily activities, or other forms of direct service.
 
Vulnerability Assessment: Participants in the NDIS can be particularly vulnerable due to disabilities or other health conditions. Roles that require interaction with such individuals are scrutinized to ensure that those performing the duties are properly vetted and trained.
 
Background Checks: Individuals in risk assessed roles are typically required to undergo thorough background checks, which include criminal history checks and other relevant screenings to ensure they are suitable for working closely with vulnerable populations.
 
Training and Compliance: Enhanced training requirements are often mandatory, focusing on areas like safety procedures, emergency response, understanding and managing challenging behaviors, and safeguarding participant rights.
 
Monitoring and Supervision: There might be more stringent monitoring and supervision requirements to ensure that the standards of care and conduct are consistently met.
