Restrictive Practices Policy & Procedures

A Restrictive Practices Policy and Procedure for a home care package provider in Australia outlines the framework and guidelines for the use of restrictive practices, which are measures or interventions that limit a person's movement, access to certain items, or control over their environment, to ensure safety and well-being.

This policy ensures compliance with the Aged Care Quality Standards and relevant legislation. It prioritises the rights, dignity, and autonomy of individuals receiving care, emphasising that restrictive practices should only be used as a last resort and in the least restrictive manner possible.

By implementing these guidelines, the home care provider ensures a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all clients.
