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.

How do employers access the database?

**Note that you must have a PRODA account to access. If you do not have access to this, you can register a PRODA account here
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.
