In plain English

The checks and protections that keep NDIS participants safe, including worker screening, provider registration and the work of the NDIS Commission.

Safeguards are the checks and protections that keep NDIS participants safe. They include worker screening, provider registration, the work of the NDIS Commission and your own right to speak up and complain. Good safeguards do not remove your choice and control, they sit alongside it. Knowing what protections exist helps you feel more confident choosing and using supports.
