NDIS Worker Screening Check (NDIS Check)
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Worker Screening Check (Check) is a compulsory screening strategy for people who work in risk-assessed roles for registered NDIS providers.
It is a mechanism that helps NDIS providers determine that individuals seeking to work, or already working, in certain NDIS roles do not present an unacceptable risk of harm to people with disability.
The NDIS Check is a national tool and is administered by Worker Screening Units in each state or territory. In Western Australia, the Screening Unit operates within the Department of Communities.
Further information about the NDIS Check can be found on the NDIS Commission website.
Who needs an NDIS Check?
Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Worker Screening) Act 2020 (NDIS Worker Screening Act), people who work in risk assessed roles for registered NDIS providers are required to hold an NDIS Check clearance. This also includes contractors and volunteers. It is an offence to work without a valid NDIS Check clearance, or without having applied for one, and penalties will apply.
Under the NDIS, a risk assessed role includes:
- key personnel (such as management and operational positions)
- a role for which the normal duties include the direct delivery of specified supports or specified services to a person with disability
- a role for which the normal duties are likely to require ‘more than incidental contact’ with people with disability. This includes:
- physically touching a person with disability
- building a rapport with a person with disability as an integral and ordinary part of the performance of those duties
- having contact with multiple people with disability, either as part of the direct delivery of a specialist disability support, or in a specialist disability accommodation setting.
Employers can assist workers in determining whether their role is risk assessed, and therefore if an NDIS Check is required.
