More information to help members comply with the NDIS Quality and Safeguarding Framework will be added soon. • Read SPA’s Private Speech Pathology Practice Privacy Guide (and templates) and see SPA's sample Privacy Policy. • Contact Anna Pannuzzo at WorkPlacePLUS for free initial advice and support.
