Understanding Complex Supports
At Nextt, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive and feel heard. Our team is dedicated to providing reliable services to individuals seeking complex supports.
The term ‘complex supports’ is used with different meanings in the disability sector. Some use it to describe high-level personal care, some to describe multiple diagnoses or impairments, while others use it to refer to complex pathways such as engagement with multiple systems like justice and mental health. At Nextt, we define complex supports as those requiring specialised skills and experience from our team.
Complex Behaviours and Positive Change
Supporting clients with complex or challenging behaviours is a key aspect of our services. We understand that some individuals might have behaviours that can create risk to themselves or others.
At Nextt, we’re committed to ensuring safety while fostering empowerment and skill-building through positive behaviour support frameworks. Our experienced team works in collaboration with clients’ behaviour support practitioners to help manage and reduce behaviours of concern.
Informed Consent and Collaboration
If restrictive practices are absolutely necessary as a last resort for safety, we require an authorised Behavioural Support Plan lodged with the Commission by a registered practitioner. Nextt prioritises compliance with NDIS rules and legislation. Our focus is on improving quality of life, while reducing restrictive practices.
Risk Assessment and Monitoring
Conducting thorough risk assessments helps shape our personalised support plans. Our staff are trained in any potential restrictive practices, and we regularly monitor and review these practices for compliance and effectiveness. At Nextt, we are committed to reducing or eliminating use of restrictive practices wherever possible. Our dedication to training, plan implementation, skill development, capacity building, and quality of life has contributed to a significant 63 per cent reduction or cessation of restrictive practices among clients who have undergone a plan review.
