High Intensity Supports. The Provider may charge for High Intensity supports (Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3), depending on the support needs of the participant and the skills and experience of the worker delivering the support. The provider will consider charging for High Intensity Supports when: • frequent (at least one (1) instance per shift) assistance is required to manage challenging behaviours that require intensive positive behaviour support; and/or • continual active support is required due to high medical support needs (such as unstable seizure activity or respiratory support). The provider will charge the level of High Intensity support based on the classification of the worker delivering the support: • Level 1 will be charged where the worker’s award is below a Social and Community Services Employee Level 2 under the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010 (SCHADS Award); • Level 2 will be charged where the worker’s award is above a Social and Community Services Employee Level 2 (at the maximum pay point) up to a Social and Community Services Employee Level 3 (at the minimum pay point) under the SCHADS Award; • Level 3 will be charged where the worker’s award is above a Social and Community Services Employee Level 3 (at the minimum pay point).
High Intensity Supports. When an employee is rostered to a High Intensity Support shift as agreed by the NDIS, the employee will be paid a High Intensity Support Allowance of $2 per hour or part thereof.
