5  Simplified outline of this Part

      This Part requires all registered NDIS providers to implement and maintain a system to record and manage certain incidents that happen in connection with providing supports or services to people with disability.
      The incidents that must be recorded and managed are:
             (a) incidents that have, or could have, caused harm to a person with disability receiving supports or services; and
             (b) acts by a person with disability that happen in connection with the provision of supports or services and that have caused serious harm, or a risk of serious harm, to another person; and
             (c) reportable incidents that are alleged to have occurred in connection with the provision of supports or services.
      The incident management system must set up procedures for identifying, assessing, managing and resolving such incidents. These procedures must specify things such as the people to whom incidents must be reported, how people with disability affected by an incident will be supported and involved in resolving the incident and when corrective action is required.
      Registered NDIS providers must keep records about incidents, and must document their incident management system. Copies of the documented system must be available to certain people, including workers and persons with disability receiving supports or services from the provider.
