About the Webinar

Misconduct allegations involving staff - especially in participant-facing roles - carry serious legal and reputational risks. Whether the issue is neglect, abuse, fraud or breach of policy, how providers respond is critical. A misstep can result in unfair dismissal claims, breach of natural justice, failure to notify the Commission, or exposure to vicarious liability. This session guides you through your obligations when dealing with staff misconduct, including:

  • Key triggers for investigation under the NDIS Code of Conduct
  • The intersection between internal procedures, the Fair Work Act, and anti-discrimination laws
  • Ensuring procedural fairness: rights of the accused, documentation, and legal defensibility
  • Balancing internal investigations with external notifications (Commission, insurers, police)
  • Common legal pitfalls and how to ensure employment action is lawful and defensible
