The Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability has uncovered some appalling incidents of wrongdoing, abuse, misconduct and unethical behaviour.
Rely is an incident management system that helps NDIS providers manage the mandatory reporting of incidents according to the Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements and standards of care.
Research by the Disability Royal Commission reveals 50% of adults with a disability have experienced violence. Other research shows more than 40% of adults with a disability have experienced sexual harassment. Mechanisms that prevent reporting include a lack of adequate reporting systems or poor accessibility for the disabled to those systems.
