1. I warrant that I have read this information below regarding the responsibilities for the Provider and the Participant (or representative) and agree to uphold these requirements.
2. I understand that cancellation and non-face to face fees may apply and I have read the Providers Cancellation Policy on the Providers website
www.wonderlandretreat.com.au / https://wonderlandretreat.com.au/about/policies www.piratesrest.com.au / https://piratesrest.com.au/about/policies/ and agree to abide by this policy.
3. I understand that I have the right to alter this agreement - and will negotiate and provide desired changes to the agreement in writing to the Provider. Unless otherwise notified of changes by either party, review of this agreement will be every 11 months.
4. I understand that I have the right to complain and dispute service provision and have read the Complaints Policy on the Providers website (www.wonderlandretreat.com.au/www.piratesrest.com.au) so that I know what to do in the event that I am not happy with this service provision.
5. I agree to have an establishment fee charged if I am registering a new participant to Wonderland and plan to be using the service on a regular basis.
6. I am happy for an hourly fee (3 hrs) to be added to claims for a report that I require (participant or nominee) for NDIS plan reviews (0115, 0104, 0107 or 0125)
7. I agree to an hourly time charge against the specific line item for the service for the creation of an Individualised Care and Activities Plan, special training for staff to implement the ICA Plan and/ or Behaviour Support Plan and Emergency support from the Management Team as may be required to fully support the needs of the participant whilst in the care of WCS. In the case of STA this will be charged as either pro rata on daily rates or 2:1 additional support in line items.
8. I am willing to discuss any issues I may have with the services provided with the Team Leader/ Manager of the service.
9. In the event that the service provided does not suit the needs of the Participant, the Provider agrees to release and cancel the agreement with 7 days' notice in writing from the Participant or Delegate. Services planned and rendered will be billed up to and including the last day of service. It is the intention of this agreement that both parties will work collaboratively to ensure the needs of the Participant are met and work through any unforeseen issues for the best interests of the Participant. For participants living in our SIL properties rental agreement cancellations and key terms policy still apply.
10. In the event of an emergency or disaster WCS will communicate clearly about the changes in support provision or measures to ensure participant safety and support to the participant/guardian/nominee and participant stakeholders and a plan will be provided to ensure continuity of care and critical supports are in place. I understand that it will be important to work with my provider for the best outcomes in an emergency situation. Emergencies may include loss of staff, sickness of staff, quarrantine issues, flood, fire, earthquake and even war. All efforts will be made to minimise disruptions to the service supports for me by Wonderland and to gain my consents to changes.
11. I agree to the implementation of restrictive practices by the service provider with the authorised permissions and plans for a PBSP is in place.
12. I understand that Wonderland Community Services, in their commitment to participant safety, has an internal policy that requires all medication and household chemicals in group homes to be stored in a secure location by staff.
Participants who self-administer their own medication may request access at any time, and staff will provide the medication promptly.
Participants who wish to use cleaning chemicals may also request access at any time, and staff will provide them promptly for use.
This arrangement is a safety measure and is not considered a restrictive practice. It is designed to protect all participants staying in our group homes and ensure that medication and chemicals are managed responsibly.
By signing this agreement, you acknowledge and agree to this practice.

* Absconding from the nominated premises where the services are provided so that safety is compromised and can't be assured
