**The work of the Positive Behaviour Support and Restrictive Practices Unit is guided by the Disability Services Act 2006 and the Guardianship and Administration Act 2000 and includes:
authorising the short term use of restrictive practices for adults with a disability who display behaviours which may cause harm to themselves or others
In fulfilling these responsibilities, the Unit liaises and works closely with a range of stakeholders including the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, the Office of the Public Guardian and the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
The state-wide team provides advice, written resources and training for Queensland service providers operating within the NDIS environment to ensure compliance with Queensland's legislative requirements and works in a cooperative manner with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission to ensure providers are aware of and comply with co-regulatory requirements.
