What is an NDIS-Registered Provider?
When researching NDIS providers in your local area, you may come across the term ‘NDIS registered’.
But what does being a provider registered with the NDIS mean, and what does that mean for the disability support you receive?
To be registered with the NDIS, a provider needs to go through a rigorous process. They must meet strict standards and requirements outlined by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. This process includes a thorough review of their operations, staff qualifications, incident monitoring system, and adherence to the NDIS Code of Conduct.
This includes:
Requiring all disability support workers to complete the NDIS Worker Screening Check
Running a thorough incident monitoring system
Regularly completing a quality audit with the NDIS
Making sure all disability support workers comply with the NDIS Code of Conduct
To maintain NDIS registered provider status, the provider must show evidence that they meet these requirements every year.
Can I use an NDIS-registered provider?
All people seeking NDIS disability support are welcome to use an NDIS provider. However, it's important to note that some participants may have restrictions on using unregistered providers, depending on the type of funding they use.
One of the benefits of using an NDIS-registered provider is that you can use any NDIS disability funding to access their support:
Self-managed
Plan managed
NDIS managed
Independent funding
