Prior to the introduction of the NDIS Check, people working for NDIS-approved providers were required to have an Acceptable Check, meaning they met the screening requirements for the state or territory in which they worked.
While the transition period into the NDIS Check ended on 31 January 2021, individuals who have an Acceptable Check may be able to continue working in certain roles without an NDIS Worker Screening Check for a set period. The roles and the periods of time differ from state to state, so it’s important that you check your state or territory-specific rules around Acceptable Checks here. If you’re still unsure, speak to your employer or reach out to the NDIS Commission on 1800 035 544.
