NDIS incident management
Delivering quality and safe services for consumers is our highest priority but sometimes unforeseen incidents/events can happen. BCHS uses an incident management system to ensure unforeseen happenings are recorded and reviewed and consumers and their support networks are informed about any incident/events relating to them along with the outcomes of any review as soon as possible.
