Frequently asked questions
- What policies do I need for NDIS provider registration?
- Your policies should address the NDIS Practice Standards relevant to your proposed supports and explain how your organisation will operate. The exact evidence depends on your registration groups and audit scope.
- Can I use a generic policy pack?
- The Commission expects applications and policies to reflect the applicant’s organisation and actual practice. Generic documents that you cannot explain can create risk.
- Do policies alone prove compliance?
- No. An audit considers how systems operate and what evidence shows that workers follow them.
