Service Agreement NDIS Template

Service agreements outline the terms of service between you as an OT and your client. This foundational NDIS template includes the responsibilities of both parties, payment terms, support details, complaint processes and termination procedures. It's customisable, so you can add your own branding and adjust specifics, such as travel charges or service duration, to fit your practice.

 

Functional Assessment Templates

Functional assessments are critical for OTs in the NDIS space – but the NDIS doesn’t provide a standardised template. Our functional assessment template helps you structure your assessments to cover all the details the NDIS requires, from assessment tools to recommendations. We offer templates for all functional assessments, including SDA, SIL and ILO assessments.

 

Schedule of Support NDIS Template

Used in conjunction with the Service Agreement, a schedule of support specifies the number of hours and costs involved in the services provided. This formal document is given to participants and family members to ensure they understand the investment required for the services.

 

Report-Writing Guides

Many of our NDIS templates come with report-writing guides, perfect for anyone unfamiliar with or needing to refresh their knowledge of NDIS reporting requirements. The guides provide advice on how to complete each section of the template, ensuring your reports are thorough and compliant.

 

Checklists and other resources

We've also created a range of checklists, services overviews plus gathered our favourite external resources in the one spot for members to access. Our inner circle resource hub also includes the A-Z of the NDIS, with individual 5-10minute video tutorials on a range of NDIS related topics to guide you through your NDIS OT journey.
