NDIS Worker Screening
AUZ Care is committed to protecting the safety, wellbeing and rights of participants.
Workers engaged in risk-assessed roles are required to hold a valid NDIS Worker Screening Check in accordance with the requirements of the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.
Worker screening forms part of AUZ Care's broader commitment to participant safety, quality service delivery and compliance with the NDIS Practice Standards and NDIS Code of Conduct.
Recruitment and Onboarding
As part of recruitment and onboarding, AUZ Care:
- Verifies NDIS Worker Screening Check clearances before workers commence in risk-assessed roles.
- Maintains accurate records of worker screening clearances and relevant expiry dates.
- Monitors screening status through the NDIS Worker Screening Database where applicable.
- Ensures workers renew their clearance before expiry.
- Takes appropriate action if a worker's clearance is suspended, revoked or otherwise becomes invalid.
- Promotes a culture of safety, respect, dignity, participant choice and human rights.
Additional Safeguards
In addition to NDIS Worker Screening Checks, AUZ Care may undertake other recruitment and onboarding checks where appropriate, including reference checks, qualification verification, right-to-work verification and ongoing compliance monitoring.
These measures help support participant safety, service quality and compliance with NDIS requirements.
Ongoing Responsibilities
Workers are required to notify AUZ Care of any change that may affect their worker screening status or suitability to work in risk-assessed roles.
AUZ Care maintains processes to monitor compliance and respond appropriately to changes in worker screening outcomes.
NDIS Worker Screening Checks are generally valid for up to five years and are subject to ongoing monitoring by the relevant screening authorities.
