NDIS Code of Conduct
Part 2: The NDIS Code of Conduct (section 6)
s6-1-g Prevent and respond to sexual misconduct
Clause and reference s 6(1)(g) of the NDIS (Code of Conduct) Rules 2018 · our reference s6-1-g
The requirement
Everyone the Code covers does what is reasonably necessary to prevent sexual misconduct and to answer it when it happens, which the guidance reads broadly (any act, gesture or comment of a sexual nature directed at or made in the presence of a person with disability, including grooming). Providers set clear boundaries for worker behaviour, screen and supervise, and operate effective processes for receiving, responding to and reporting allegations.
Our wording of the requirement: our statement of what the clause asks, not the instrument verbatim. Source: NDIS Code of Conduct on the compliance desk.
The evidence to bring
- Professional boundaries policy defining sexual misconduct and grooming, signed by each worker
- Allegation response procedure with reporting to police and the NDIS Commission
- Records of each allegation, immediate safety actions taken and investigation outcome
- Supervision arrangements for one-to-one supports in private settings
What assessors commonly find
- Boundary breaches (personal messaging, gifts, meeting participants outside work) not treated as warning signs
- Allegations investigated by the accused worker's line manager alone
- Participants not told how to report sexual misconduct safely
What evidence do I need?
For s6-1-g Prevent and respond to sexual misconduct, the evidence to bring is: Professional boundaries policy defining sexual misconduct and grooming, signed by each worker. It sits under Part 2: The NDIS Code of Conduct (section 6) and the instrument's own clause is s 6(1)(g). Keep every record dated, signed and current, and name who owns it.
Answer the reviewer first
Show me professional boundaries policy defining sexual misconduct and grooming, signed by each worker, and tell me who owns it and when it was last reviewed.
That is the question a quality assessor opens with for this requirement. Have the record on the desk and the date it was last reviewed to hand.
