Description

The Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services is committed to ensuring adults with an intellectual or cognitive disability who exhibit behaviour that causes harm and are receiving disability services from a relevant service provider, are supported in appropriate ways, in a safe environment and in a way that recognises the adult’s rights and needs.

The focus should be on preventing or reducing the behaviour that causes harm through supporting the adult to live a full and active life with opportunities to engage in community activities and other activities of interest, develop relationships and learn new skills.
