Worker Screening Policy and Procedure

An editable NDIS worker screening policy and procedure. It sets out who needs an NDIS Worker Screening clearance and how you verify, record and monitor it. It also covers National Police Checks and Working with Children Checks.

What is inside:

• Definitions, including risk-assessed roles, clearances and exclusions
• Responsibilities of managers, workers and all staff
• Who must hold a clearance before starting a risk-assessed role
• Screening requirements by role type for risk-assessed roles, non-risk-assessed roles and key personnel
• Six-step procedure from pre-engagement to expiry and renewal, including the strict conditions for working on a pending application
• Responding to exclusions, interim bars and suspensions
• Worker obligations, confidentiality and who pays for the check
• Pending-application risk management plan appendix

Good to know: the obligations in the NDIS Worker Screening Rules apply to registered providers. The policy explains how unregistered providers can apply the same standard. Whether a worker may start on a pending application depends on the state or territory.
