What is the NDIS Worker Screening Database?

The NDIS Worker Screening Database is a national register of all NDIS workers who have completed or applied for the NDIS Worker Screening Check.

THE NDIS Commission monitors and updates the register regularly.

As a self-managed participant or unregistered provider, you can search the database to:

• check and monitor the clearance status of workers, and
• confirm that a worker is, or will be, engaged by an unregistered provider.

This is an innovative concept for the support sector that leads to 3 major benefits:

• workers can move between states with ease, 
• people with disability will receive adequate and safe care from cleared workers, and
• information that a worker poses a risk can be shared in real time, making it an effective safeguard for recipients.

Updates

It’s important to note that the worker or potential worker must make the application for their clearance themselves, and they will nominate the provider or self-managed participation for verification.

Once verified, the worker and employer will be linked and the database will inform the employer via email updates on any changes to the worker’s status.
