NDIS Providers
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Quality and Safeguards Commission is an independent body working with providers to improve the quality and safety of NDIS supports and services, investigate and resolve problems, and strengthen the skills and knowledge of providers and participants across Australia.
Under the NDIS Commission, the requirements for NDIS providers are to be nationally consistent, proportionate to the size and scale of organisations and breaches, and responsive to an expanding market.
Requirements include:
- a national provider registration system
- NDIS Practice Standards
- an NDIS Code of Conduct
- a national worker screening system
- a new complaints management and resolution system
- new incident management requirements, including reportable incidents
- providing opportunities for workers to complete the Worker Orientation Module
- new behaviour support requirements, to reduce and eliminate restrictive practices.
The NDIS Commission is now operating in all states and territories. It provides a single, national registration and regulatory system for providers that sets a consistent approach to quality across Australia.
