Advice Consideration

This is for Technical Advice and Practice Improvement Branch (TAPIB) advice only, the decision to approve or decline is the plan delegates decision. TAPIB advice is informed by clinical application and understanding of the impact of providing the support. This includes compulsory protocols agreed with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. If you disagree with advice from TAPIB or receive more information for the case, discuss this with your team leader or manager. If your team leader or manager agrees, contact TAPIB Advisor or Assistant Director for discussion and resolution.

You should not distribute TAPIB advice as this is internal specialist advice. This aligns with the CEO Direction dated 1 February 2021.

If you provide the participant with written reasons for the decision, this correspondence should be self-contained with your decisions set out. Advice provided by the TAPIB may be paraphrased in written correspondence about the decision.
