What evidence do I need for the risk management quality indicator?
An assessor asks for a risk register that rates likelihood and consequence, sets the treatment and names an owner; participant risk assessments linked to that register; and a work health and safety hazard register. The system itself must be documented and proportionate to the provider's size and scale.
Answered from the held text of NDIS Practice Standards core-10.1. The clause behind it is cited below, and the requirement page carries the evidence an assessor asks for.
