Frequently asked questions
- What worker screening is needed for NDIS provider registration?
- Key personnel and workers in risk-assessed roles must have the clearances required by the NDIS Commission. Applicants should check, link and verify worker screening status before applying.
- Do all NDIS workers need the same clearance?
- Requirements depend on the role and risk assessment. Check the current Commission and state or territory guidance for the role.
- Can I wait until after registration to screen staff?
- Set up screening before application where possible; the Commission says missing clearances can delay processing.
