Your safety is our top priority
Your safety is very important to us. We work hard to deliver safe services. But sometimes accidents happen. Sometimes people make mistakes or treat other people badly. We call these things “incidents”
You can also help prevent incidents from happening. Act safely, treat other people with respect, and if you don’t feel safe telling someone about it.
If you are involved in an incident, you have the right to know what went wrong and what is being done to make it right.
As an NDIS service provider, we must follow the rules about keeping people safe. We work hard to keep everyone safe. That means you, our workers and other people in the community.
We think about how accidents can happen and how we can prevent them. We want everyone to be safe and to feel safe. Ig you feel unsafe, you can tell us. We promise to listen.
Your feedback is important to us
Your feedback helps us improve so that you will feel safer, happier and get more out of services.
We will often ask you for feedback. You can also comment or complain at any time. You can call us, or ask our staff to help. They will make sure the right people will get your message. Your complaint will be kept private.
When you tell us what you like or don’t like, we will listen. And we will try to change things if we can. You will always receive a reply as quickly as possible.
You can also provide your feedback anonymously. If you don’t leave your name, we can’t reply to your complaint, but we will still try to make things better
Your rights and our responsibilities
We will listen to you and work with you. By working together, you will receive the best service possible. If we forget this or treat you badly, you have the right t complain. You have rights: to be treated well, to participate fully, to speak out.
