Employment Law in the NDIS Sector – Risks for Providers and Support Workers 

 

The unique operational models of NDIS providers create distinct challenges in employment law, particularly around worker classification, compliance, and workplace safety.  

 

This session will equip legal practitioners with a thorough understanding of employment disputes in the disability services sector and will explore the nuances of contractor versus employee status, award obligations, and workforce management, while considering regulatory focus on psychosocial safety and WorkSafe compliance. 

 

This session will discuss: 

  • Distinguishing contractor and employee status within NDIS business arrangements and their legal implications. 
  • Understanding award coverage requirements, rostering obligations, and issues around casual conversion. 
  • Best practices for managing employee performance, misconduct, and complaints in the NDIS context. 
  • Navigating WorkSafe regulations, with a focus on psychosocial hazards and safety compliance obligations.
