Building Safer NDIS Services: Practical OHS and Psychosocial Safety Support

At iiNexus Global, workplace health &1 safety is more than a compliance requirement—it is in our DNA. We live and breathe practical occupational health and safety (OHS) and psychosocial safety, helping organisations build safer, stronger and more sustainable workplaces.

Recently, we had the pleasure of meeting with the founder - Mohini Pandey from Top Care and Services, an NDIS provider committed to creating safe, quality support for both participants and workers. Mohini has established a solid risk-management foundation within her business, demonstrating the leadership and care needed to support a growing team and the people they serve.

Our discussion focused on practical, achievable safety solutions relevant to the NDIS and healthcare sectors. As providers grow, they often face increasingly complex workplace risks—particularly where staff work alone, support participants with complex needs, respond to unexpected incidents, or experience challenging and emotionally demanding situations.

Common NDIS Workplace Risks

NDIS providers have a duty to protect workers, participants and others affected by their services. Important areas to consider include:

• Working alone and in isolated locations, including home visits and community-based support

• Occupational violence, aggression and challenging behaviours

• Crisis management, emergency response and incident escalation

• Safe work procedures for participant-specific risks

• Manual handling and injury prevention

• Worker induction, supervision, competency and refresher training

• Psychosocial hazards such as high job demands, exposure to trauma, fatigue, poor support or workplace conflict

• Consultation, reporting systems and continual improvement

Effective risk management must be practical. A policy sitting in a folder is not enough; workers need clear processes, relevant training, accessible support and confidence to speak up when something does not feel safe.
