NDIS Worker Screening Checks
All states and territories have started implementing the new NDIS worker screening arrangements as part of a national approach to worker screening.
Now that the new national worker screening arrangements have started, registered NDIS providers are required to only engage workers with an NDIS worker screening clearance in certain roles (called ‘risk assessed roles’).
However, states and territories have different arrangements for when a worker must apply for an NDIS Worker Screening Check.
Please check the transitional and special arrangements that apply in your state or territory to determine when your workers will need to have an NDIS worker screening clearance.
The transitional and special arrangements specify alternative checks and clearances that are acceptable pending the availability of the NDIS Worker Screening Check.
We will keep you updated on any changes and new requirements for your staff as we hear them.
Stay tuned!
