We’ve just published a new position statement on safe surround beds and safe sleepers.
This resource explains:
◼️ What safe surround beds and safe sleepers are
◼️ The context of their use
◼️ What providers must consider when supporting participants
Created in consultation with state and territory authorising bodies, it identifies that the use of these devices constitutes a Regulated Restrictive Practice. It also helps NDIS participants – and those supporting them – understand their rights and provider responsibilities when the devices are in use.

Restrictive practices not only infringe on a person’s freedom of movement, but can also be traumatic, dangerous and breach basic human rights. This position statement supports our regulatory priority to reduce and eliminate regulated restrictive practices.
