To support providers in meeting legal requirements while safeguarding the rights of both businesses and their clients, Russell Kennedy Lawyers offers expert drafting and advisory services tailored for National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and Home Care Package (HCP) agreements.

- Participant and Provider Details – Includes full names, contact information, and NDIS participant number.
- Scope of Services – Defines the services provided, duration, and any specific requirements.
- Payment Terms – Covers pricing, invoicing, and payment methods in line with NDIS pricing guides.
- Responsibilities – Specifies the roles and obligations of both the provider and participant.
- Termination and Dispute Resolution – Establishes guidelines for cancellations, modifications, and handling disputes.
- Privacy and Compliance – Ensures adherence to NDIS regulations regarding information security and legal compliance.
Home Care Package (HCP) Agreements Similarly, HCP agreements play a crucial role in structuring care plans for recipients. These agreements typically include:
- Care and Services Plan – A personalized outline of services, frequency, and expected outcomes.
- Fees and Budget Management – A transparent breakdown of fees, including daily and income-tested fees.
- Obligations of Providers and Recipients – Ensuring both parties understand their responsibilities.
- Modification and Termination Policies – Processes for making changes or ending agreements.
- Dispute Resolution and Compliance – Clear procedures for resolving issues while aligning with aged care regulations.
