Restrictive practices in NSW
Although we are just over the border, NSW has its own authorisation process. In NSW, regulated restrictive practices are authorised through the Department of Communities and Justice process, which involves a Restrictive Practices Authorisation panel and the RPA portal. We prepare behaviour support plans that meet both the NDIS rules and the NSW requirements, and work with the provider through the panel process.
Cross border families
Some participants live in NSW but attend services in Queensland, or the other way around. We understand both systems and can help work out which rules apply.
Make a referral
Support coordinators, LACs, providers and families can refer through the referral form on our website or by emailing admin@ftherapies.com.au. If you are not sure whether we cover your suburb, just ask.
