Restrictive practices authorised, recorded and reported
With the behaviour support plan in every worker’s hands.
Your workers follow the current behaviour support plan on every shift, and every use of a regulated restrictive practice is recorded and ready to report. Store and version BSPs, put strategies in front of workers at shift level, track authorisations to expiry and turn unauthorised use into a reportable incident.
Free for 14 days, with rostering, the support worker app, progress notes and NDIS invoicing. Set it up yourself online.
What changes for you
No practice used without authorisation
Each regulated restrictive practice is held with its authorisation and expiry, and use outside it is flagged as a potential reportable incident.
Monthly reporting without the spreadsheet
Every recorded use builds the data you need for restrictive practice reporting to the NDIS Commission, ready to review and submit.
Workers know the strategies before they need them
The current BSP’s proactive and response strategies are on the worker’s shift, so the plan is followed in practice, not filed away.

One register for every regulated restrictive practice
Regulated restrictive practices need authorisation and a behaviour support plan, and their use is reported to the NDIS Commission. The register holds each practice with its type, the plan it belongs to, authorisation status and expiry, and every recorded use, so your quality team sees what is authorised, what is expiring and what has been used.
- Seclusion, chemical, mechanical, physical and environmental
- Authorisation status and expiry reminders
- Every use linked to its practice
- Unauthorised use flagged as reportable

Can our external behaviour support practitioner use it?
Yes. Invite practitioners with access scoped to the participants they work with, so they can upload plans and review behaviour and use data without seeing the rest of your organisation.
Does it submit our monthly restrictive practice report?
It compiles the use data by participant and practice so your team can review it and submit it to the NDIS Commission through the Commission’s portal.
