What is the NDIS worker screening check?

The NDIS Worker Screening Check is a mandatory clearance process for individuals who work in certain NDIS roles. It determines whether a worker is suitable to provide supports to people with disability by assessing their criminal history, workplace misconduct, and other relevant risk factors.

Workers who pass the screening receive an NDIS Worker Clearance, which is recognised nationally across all states and territories. This clearance helps protect participants by ensuring only safe and suitable people deliver services.

The screening process is managed by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. More details are available on the official Commission website..
