Policy Manuals

This section includes sample policy manuals. They can be used as a base for drafting policies and procedures.

Policy and Procedures Resource Manual
This Policy and Procedures Resource Manual is intended primarily as a resource to assist agencies funded by the Disability Services Commission to align their policies and procedures with the Disability Services Standards. However, policies can only be effective if they are 'owned' by the organisation. This manual should not be used as a policy 'gap filler' for the organisation. Policies need to be coherent with the organisation's mission, values and objectives.
