The SDA HOUSING Podcast
"The SDA HOUSING Podcast" is brought to you by the team at NDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA. Whether you are listening as an Investor, Provider, Builder, Developer or Participant, we cover a wide range of topics informative to any audience. We discuss how we work with all stakeholders in sourcing and delivering new dwellings which are SDA compliant, to general information about the NDIS, and statistics about Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) in the NDIS sector. We regularly have guest speakers each week from other organisations to talk about their involvement in the SDA sector, and how they contribute to the social impact of SDA, building homes that are fit-for-purpose, while giving NDIS participants the "Choice and Control" over how, where and with whom they live. As we are learning and adapting to an evolving world of SDA in the NDIS sector, we want you, our listeners, to come on the journey with us so that you too can contribute and make a social impact for People With Disabilities (PWDs). If you would like to share your SDA journey with us, we welcome you to contact us to tell your story. Please feel free to call us on 1300 254 397 to talk to one of our friendly staff, or email us - podcast@ndis.property.

EPISODE 243 - Behaviours of Concern & Restrictive Practices
In this brief episode, an introduction to our series on Support Workers, Maddie and Courtney from our office, who both have previous experience as support workers, discuss what Behaviours of Concern are, and explain why a participant may exhibit these types of behaviours and how such behaviours might be managed. They also tell us what Restrictive Practices entail and how such practices may be used to address Behaviours of Concern.
The relevance of these two topics is because more often than not, they are a core part of provision of care by SIL Providers within an SDA home, and definitely are applicable to Improved Liveability & Robust Participants. Although these matters do not directly impact the SDA investor, they do play a part in the procurement and tenancy matching process with filling up an SDA home for tenancy.
“Behaviours of Concern” in the NDIS are important to be aware of for several reasons:
1. Safety and Well-being: These behaviours can pose risks to the safety and well-being of the individual exhibiting them and to those around them, including carers, support workers, and other participants.
2. Effective Support Planning: Understanding and addressing behaviours of concern are crucial for developing effective, individualized support plans. This ensures that participants receive the appropriate care and interventions tailored to their needs.
3. Quality of Life: By addressing behaviours of concern, support workers can help improve the overall quality of life for individuals with disabilities. This can lead to better social integration, increased independence, and enhanced mental and emotional health. 4. Compliance and Standards: The NDIS has specific standards and regulations that providers must adhere to. Properly managing behaviours of concern ensures compliance with these regulations, avoiding potential legal and operational issues for service providers.
5. Training and Capacity Building: Recognizing and understanding these behaviours necessitates specialised training for support staff. This enhances their capacity to provide high-quality, compassionate care and to handle challenging situations effectively.
6. Family and Caregiver Support: Addressing behaviours of concern also supports families and caregivers by providing them with strategies and resources to manage these behaviours, reducing stress and improving the caregiving environment.
7. Resource Allocation: Awareness and proper management of behaviours of concern help in the efficient allocation of re
