What is the NDIS Worker Screening Check?
Basically, the screening check assesses your potential risk to NDIS participants.
It includes a review of your criminal history, disciplinary and misconduct records, plus notifications and information from interstate screening agencies.
The check is mandatory for all workers working for registered NDIS providers.

The application process varies from state to state, but generally starts with an application for clearance.
