Understanding the NDIS Worker Screening Check and Why It Matters

Published on June 22, 2025 | Updated on June 22, 2025

The NDIS Worker Screening Check is an important safety requirement for anyone who works or volunteers with people with disability under the National Disability Insurance Scheme. It helps make sure that only workers who have passed the strict national clearance can deliver NDIS services and supports.

This check looks at a person’s criminal history, workplace misconduct records and other information to decide if they are suitable to work with people with disability. The goal is to protect participants from harm and to build trust in the disability support workforce.

At OpenHearted Support, we take the safety and wellbeing of our participants seriously. All our staff and support workers must hold a valid NDIS Worker Screening Check before they start working with you or your family. We regularly verify and update our records to stay in line with the latest NDIS rules and standards.

NDIS Code of Conduct

Following the NDIS Code of Conduct and worker screening laws means you can feel confident that your support worker or nurse has been properly checked and cleared. It also means that if a worker’s clearance changes, we are notified immediately and can take action to keep our participants safe.

Choosing a provider that follows all worker screening rules is a smart step for your peace of mind and quality care. At OpenHearted Support, we are proud to maintain high safety standards and follow all NDIS regulations to deliver services you can trust.
