What is Worker Screening?
In plain English
A national clearance that checks if someone is safe to work with NDIS participants. Required for risk-assessed roles in registered organisations.
Worker screening is a national background check that decides whether a person is cleared to work with NDIS participants in risk assessed roles. A worker with a clearance has been checked against criminal history and other records, and the clearance is recognised across all states and territories. It is a core safeguard in the scheme. You can ask any worker whether they hold a current clearance.
