Hi Deeparch, thanks for your enquiry. A person must be engaged, or proposed to be engaged, in NDIS work to make an application for a NDIS Check.

[@Department_of_Communities]

Hi Deeparch, an NDIS Screening Check is compulsory for people who work in risk assessed roles for registered NDIS providers. Employers can assist you to determine whether the role you are applying for is a risk assessed role and therefore requires an NDIS Screening Check. You must be in, or proposed to be in, NDIS work to be eligible to apply. For more information on applying for an NDIS Screening Check, see www.wa.gov.au/organisation/department-of-communities/applying-ndis-check

Can I apply for NDIS worker screening even if I am not yet in Australia?

[@Department_of_Communities]

You need to be engaged in NDIS work in Western Australia (WA) to be eligible for the NDIS Check. We recommend waiting till you arrive in WA to lodge your application as this simplifies the identity verification process. However, if you need to lodge from overseas, email our Customer Support Team at [e-mail] and we will assist with your individual circumstances.
