A practical module showing managers and providers how to develop a privacy management system that protects Participant’s private and confidential information.

Why take this course?

It’s simple – we all have a right to privacy and confidentiality. Yet as a manager or provider within the NDIS, privacy laws and requirements can be complicated to navigate, making it hard to implement compliant systems and procedures.

This quick, informative and practical module will guide you through what NDIS providers must comply with when it comes to a person’s private information (including the Standards, Code of Conduct, and Participant expectations). You’ll leave with greater confidence in handling, storing, archiving, and destroying both Participants’ and workers’ personal information, and ultimately, uphold their privacy and dignity.
