A small number of people with a disability are subject to restrictive interventions (such as restraint or seclusion) or to compulsory treatment, due to the harm they pose to themselves or others. The Act provides strong requirements to ensure that the rights of these people are protected.
Senior Practitioner
The appointment of a Senior Practitioner is a key part of the Act to ensure that people's rights are protected when these practices are used. The Senior Practitioner will also ensure that appropriate standards are met in relation to these practices.
