The national policy for NDIS worker screening will be brought into effect through relevant Commonwealth, State and Territory legislation and policy.  The NDIS Commissioner is responsible for working with all Australian Governments to develop and oversee the broad policy design for a nationally consistent approach to NDIS worker screening.
  Worker screening is only one of a range of strategies that operate together to reduce risk of harm to people with disability.  Providers must also implement additional policies, procedures and practices that assist in identifying and minimising risk of harm to people with disability.  This includes promoting positive organisational cultures that do not tolerate abuse, neglect or exploitation; ensuring quality recruitment, selection and screening; and maintaining a focus on education and training.
