Holiday Compliance Hacks for Busy Teams
The holiday season is here, and for many NDIS providers, that means reduced staffing, last-minute roster changes, and team members stepping into unfamiliar roles. While the festive period is a time to celebrate, it can also create compliance challenges if policies and processes are not clear and accessible.
Here’s how to keep compliance on track now and set yourself up for success in 2026.
Why compliance slips during the holidays
Skeleton crews covering multiple roles
Managers or compliance leads on leave
Limited time for onboarding or handovers
Increased risk of missed documentation and delayed reporting
These challenges can lead to gaps in compliance unless you plan ahead.
Quick compliance hacks for the holiday season
1. Create a quick-access compliance hub
Centralize critical policies and procedures so staff can find what they need fast.
2. Use reminders and notifications
Automated alerts for required reading and incident reporting keep compliance front of mind.
3. Assign backup responsibilities
Document who handles escalations when key staff are away.
4. Prepare a holiday handover checklist
Include links to policies, contact details, and reporting workflows.
5. Test your systems before the break
Ensure staff can log incidents and access documents remotely if needed.
