Scope welcomes ‘energetic and enthusiastic’ Therapy graduates
Recent university graduates eager to cut their teeth in the disability sector have enjoyed an intensive two-day workshop preparing them for their budding careers.
On 15 July 2025, Scope (Aust) received compliance notices from the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission outlining areas for improvement in some of our Supported Independent Living (SIL) services.
The notices relate to specific systems and processes which are designed to improve consistency, governance and documentation. These are important matters, many of which we had identified and started addressing through our regular internal reviews. The matter does not relate in any way to the activities of our people, who do an amazing job day-in, day-out supporting our clients and their families.
The work we’ve been undertaking includes:
- Improving record keeping and care plan documentation, ensuring consistency across all sites.
- Strengthening training for employees who provide complex supports.
- Fully implementing our new medication management system.
- Ensuring all employees understand how to report incidents and follow correct procedures.
- Supporting employees to use our sector-leading Stop and Watch tool, which was awarded a rating of Compliance with Elements of Best Practice by the NDIS audit in December 2024.
We continue to work closely with the NDIS Commission and we’re on track to address the matters raised within the relevant timeframe. We are committed as always to keep delivering to the high standards set by the NDIS Commission, and those we set for ourselves.
We thank our clients, families, and partners for their ongoing support as we continue this work.
Around the bay in three days: tracing a seasoned traveller’s trip across Victoria
For many of us, winter usually means hunkering down and avoiding nature at its fiercest. This is not the case for one 14 Botanic Drive resident.
Is my child shy or is it a sign of autism?
Watching your child grow and develop is a rewarding, remarkable experience. Yet it can be fraught with anxiety. How do you know if your child is reaching all the right milestones? When should you get a cute quirk in their behaviour looked at?
