NDIS Self Managers Direct Employment HR Manual Cover

Need to create an employee manual for your support workers, but don’t know where to start?

Direct employment of your support workers gives you greater certainty and control. However, there are legal obligations that come with the employment of staff.

NDIS Self Managers Direct Employment HR Manual includes everything you need to help you comply with your employment obligations and create a fully compliant employee manual for your support workers.

All the HR policies, forms and letters are contained in one simple, plain English, easy-to-use package developed by experienced HR practitioners and experts.

One thing to note, you will still need to dedicate time to read through each of the policies and customise them for your care situation. While we have made it as easy as possible, getting up to speed with your legal requirements will still take some time.

How the Manual Was Developed & Who is It Aimed At

The NDIS Self-Managers: Staff Employment Manual has been developed in consultation with Local NDIS Local Area Coordinators as well as people with disabilities who will be direct employing support workers.

We have deliberately written this manual for self-managers who will be hiring less than 15 staff members. If you will be hiring more than 15 staff members, then we recommend our Instant HR Policies and Procedures Manual.

Your NDIS Self-Managers: Staff Employment Manual is written as a series of policy and procedure templates. These join to form an HR Manual for your support workers, explaining their rights, responsibilities and entitlements, as well as outlining the practicalities of how these will work for your support situation.

Easy as 1 2 3

Easy As 1…2…3…

Create your HR Manual in minutes. Start by downloading the documents (they come in Word format). Then search and replace ABCD with the name of the NDIS participant. Finally, review your document and tweak the processes to match how you want your care to run. Simple!

Wonderful feedback

"As an Independent Support Coordinator with Jeder Institute I work with many participants who choose to Self- Manage their NDIS Funding and who want to Directly Employ their own staff. Doing this gives them maximum amounts of choice and control but it does have legal requirements and responsibilities which need to be considered.

The NDIS Self Managers Direct Employment HR Manual and Employee Handbook provides an easy to read, customisable formal framework for Direct Employers.

It has been an honour and a pleasure working with the Australian Employee Manual creating such a fabulous and affordable product! This is an absolute must-have for all NDIS Participants who Directly Employ their own staff.

Your NDIS Self Managers Direct Employment HR Manual Questions Answered

Frequently asked questions about the NDIS Self Managers Direct Employment HR Manual.

Is the employee handbook up to date?

We review the package in full at the beginning of each year and after every major legislative update to ensure the content is always current.

Are all the bonuses included in the price?

Yes. You get the full NDIS Self Managers Direct Employment HR Manual, as well as all of the bonuses included for the one price.

Are updates included?

You get access to 12 month’s of update included in your initial purchase. After 12 months, you will be billed a low renewal rate of just $33 incl. GST annually to retain access to every update issued each year. That’s ongoing peace of mind!

Is there a guarantee?

We offer a 60-day 100% money back guarantee.

Are they easy to customise?

All the documents come in either Microsoft Word format (so you can edit them) or PDF (for purely informational documents that you don’t need to edit). If you can use the basic features of Word, you can edit these documents. We also include instructions so you can update your contents page when you are finished editing. Unfortunately, we don’t provide support for Macs.

Can you customise the documents for me?

While most businesses find they don’t need any extra help editing their manual, if you do have a challenging HR issue then we recommend you work with your NDIS Local Area Coordinator to get personalised attention.

Why do you recommend we run our final employee handbook past our lawyer?

Employment relations in Australia is highly complex. No template package can cover every business structure, or unique employment challenge. That’s why we recommend every employee manual (no matter whether developed by using our templates or in conjunction with a HR consultant), be run past your lawyer to ensure your specific circumstances are taken into account.

Does it include full WHS policies & procedures?

While we do include some general WHS policies, unfortunately, the legislation still is not consistent across Australia. You may still need to develop property specific WHS policies and procedures.

I haven't received my download emails. Can you help?
