The Restrictive Intervention Data System (RIDS) is an online system that assists the Victorian Senior Practitioner to monitor the use of regulated restrictive practices on people with disability by funded and approved disability providers.
RIDS is designed to enable disability service providers to seek authorisation and approval of regulated restrictive practices. RIDS also lets disability service providers report on how often regulated restricted practices are used each month on people with disability, as required by the Disability Act 2006. It provides a way of conducting meaningful analysis on the use and reduction of restrictive practices across Victoria.
RIDS is designed to enable:
- Uploading and saving of approved behaviour support plans that contain regulated restrictive practices for people with a disability onto the system
- Lodging of treatment plans for people who are on a compulsory treatment order
Reporting of restrictive practices for non-NDIS participants
You may need access to RIDS if you are:
- An Authorised Program Officer for a service provider, you will need to submit the Behaviour Support Plan via RIDS for Authorisation.
- A provider that needs to report Restrictive Practices for State funded disability services for non-NDIS participants or compulsory treatment requirements.
