Clause and reference m3-4.6, our reference for this requirement in the NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators
The requirement
The provider gives information and supports in a clear, easy to understand and flexible way, and integrates the support into the child's everyday routines rather than relying on clinic-only activities.
Our wording of the requirement: our statement of what the clause asks, not the instrument verbatim. Source: NDIS Practice Standards on the compliance desk.
The evidence to bring
- Routine-based intervention plans (mealtime, bath time, play, getting dressed)
- Plain-language or translated information resources given to families
- Session notes from home or other everyday settings
What assessors commonly find
- Strategies only practised in clinic sessions
- Written information too technical for the family

Answer the reviewer first
Show me routine-based intervention plans (mealtime, bath time, play, getting dressed), and tell me who owns it and when it was last reviewed.
