[H2] Application times
Applying online through Service Victoria is the fastest way to get your NDIS Check.Apply now at Service VictoriaAfter your application has been verified it can take up to 3 weeks for us to assess your application. In most cases, this will be a much shorter period (for example, if there is no criminal history to assess).The National Police Checking Service (NPCS) in Australia is a partially manual, name-based process, involving many stakeholders. The NPCS aims to return checks as quickly as possible, however turnaround times are not guaranteed.There are many reasons as to why some checks take longer than others to process, including:the check subject having a common name, or a name that matches with many potential Persons of Interest on policing systemsthe check subject having old police information that requires manual collection and processing of hard copy recordsthe relevant police agency having inaccurate or incomplete records which need to be investigated properly before the check can be finalisedtransferring information between the various state and territory police agencies before the information can be vetted and/or released, andworkloads within each police agency.You can help reduce any unnecessary referrals to our police partners by ensuring that application data is submitted accurately and in full.Thank you for your continued understanding.
[H2] Who needs to have an NDIS Clearance
All individuals starting work for registered NDIS providers in certain types of roles called risk assessed roles will need an NDIS Clearance before they can start work.This includes:volunteer workersworkers engaged through third parties such as labour-hire agenciessole traders who, for the NDIS Check, are both the provider and the worker.A volunteer must be in a risk assessed role to be eligible for the volunteer fee waiver.
[H2] Identifying risk assessed roles
Registered NDIS providers must comply, amongst other requirements, with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Practice Standards - Worker Screening) Rules 2018 (NDIS Practice Standards).Registered NDIS providers have a requirement to:assess all roles and identify risk assessed roleskeep a written list of all of the organisation's risk assessed roles.A risk assessed role is one that:is a key personnel role of a person or an entity as defined in s 11A of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (for example, a CEO or a Board Member)involves the direct delivery of specified supports or services to a person with disabilityis likely to require ‘more than incidental contact’ with people with disability, which includes:physically touching a person with disabilitybuilding a rapport with a person with disability as an integral and ordinary part of the performance of normal dutieshaving contact with multiple people with disability as part of the direct delivery of a specialist disability support or service, or in a specialist disability accommodation setting.Examples of risk assessed roles
There are 3 types of risk assessed roles outlined in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Practice Standards—Worker Screening) Rules 2018.
Below are examples of roles that may be considered risk assessed roles. Please seek your own independent legal advice on your specific circumstances.
[H3] 1. Key personnel
For example:
a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a registered NDIS provider
a board member of a registered NDIS provider.
[H3] 2. Any role that directly delivers a set of ‘specified supports or services’
For example:
a nurse directly delivering community nursing care through a registered NDIS provider
an exercise physiologist or personal trainer delivering services through a registered NDIS provider.
[H3] 3. Any role where normal duties are likely to require ‘more than incidental contact’ with people with disability
For example:
a disability support worker working for a registered NDIS provider
a customer service representative who as a part of their role builds a rapport with people with disability and has contact with multiple people with disability
an allied health professional such as an occupational therapist or psychologist delivering services to people with disability
a cleaner delivering services through the NDIS who as a part of their role needs to build a rapport with people with disability.
[H2] No clearance, no start
Victoria is taking a ‘no clearance, no start’ approach to the NDIS Check.This means that a person is prohibited from being employed or otherwise engaged by a registered NDIS provider in a risk assessed role unless the person has an NDIS Clearance or is subject to a transitional arrangement.Your employer, as a registered NDIS provider, must make sure all staff who need an NDIS Clearance have one.The NDIS Check does not replace Victoria’s WWC Check. If you are continuing to work with children, you will need to renew your WWC Clearance.Background to NDIS Worker ScreeningIn December 2016, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) endorsed the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Quality and Safeguarding Framework (the Framework) setting out a new nationally consistent approach to regulation under the NDIS. The NDIS Worker Screening Check (NDIS Check) is an important part of the Framework that works with other components to support the dignity, safety and wellbeing of NDIS participants.The Framework aimed to establish nationally consistent worker screening that would enable screened workers to deliver NDIS services and supports in any state or territory, with any employer delivering services under the NDIS.The National Disability Insurance Scheme (Practice Standards – Worker Screening) Rules 2018 (NDIS Practice Standards) outline the requirements for registered NDIS providers in relation to worker screening.Victoria’s Safety Screening Policy for registered NDIS providers operating in Victoria (Safety Screening Policy) implemented by the then Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) outlined Victoria’s transitional arrangements leading into the national NDIS Worker Screening Check. This Safety Screening Policy was in operation from 1 July 2019 and required NDIS registered providers to ensure workers in risk assessed roles were screened in line with the policy and that their safety screening was current in accordance with the requirements of the policy. You can request a copy of the Safety Screening Policy from the DHHS by emailing qualityandsafeguards@dhhs.vic.gov.au.The Safety Screening Policy was in operation until Victoria’s NDIS Worker Screening Unit was operational. Originally this was planned to be until July 2020 but due to the impacts of Covid-19 the commencement date for NDIS Worker Screening in Victoria was delayed until 1 February 2021.The NDIS Worker Screening Check now replaces the different arrangements currently operating in each state or territory, setting a minimum national standard that all workers engaged in risk assessed roles must meet.A list of the current requirements in each state or territory, is on the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission’s webpage.
