TAPIB Advisors

The Technical Advice and Practice Improvement Branch service is available to all staff across the service delivery network, providing reasonable and necessary guidance.

Subject Matter Experts (SME) have a strong clinical or disability background and a good understanding of insurance principles (including the value and purpose of early intervention) and how the NDIS applies these principles within the disability sector.

Advisors are located throughout the network. The team provides additional Specialist Subject Matter expertise, interpretation and advice in terms of decisions which may include one or more of the following areas:

  • Psychosocial disability
  • Complex behavioural support/behavioural modification programs
  • Chronic health and complex medical conditions
  • Complex Speech and Communication impairment/communication technology
  • Home modifications
  • Assistive technology
  • Prosthetics and Orthotics
  • Audiology

The team further provide:

  • Expertise in consistent decision making using critical analysis and sound clinical reasoning.
  • Support for delegates in terms of broader planning considerations and provide guidance to lead complex and sensitive conversations where many factors need to be balanced.
  • An understanding of how disability impacts on daily living and their subject matter expertise will enable them to identify appropriate supports using an evidence based approach.
  • Advice and assistance in interpreting and applying legislative and Operational Policy which may be ambiguous or complex in nature and not able to be answered by Service Delivery Team.

Types of Advice

TAPIB provide a range of advice from short to detailed, legislative based responses and may include review of current best practice and research. The level of detail will depend on the type of request, the context and the audience.
