The first NDIS Worker Screening Checks issued in 2021 have now reached their renewal period, marking an important milestone for the NDIS Commission.
Workers whose clearances are reaching expiry will receive renewal notifications from the state or territory authority that issued their Check. The NDIS Worker Screening Database (NWSD) is also notifying employers – including registered and unregistered providers, and self-managed participants – when workers linked to them in the NWSD need to renew.
Workers with Checks due to expire within 90 days must apply to renew so they can continue working in risk-assessed roles. Providers are required to remove workers from these roles if their clearance expires.
Workers who'd like to check the expiry date of their Worker Screening Check can either:
• Refer to the confirmation material sent to them by the state or territory authority that issued their Check
• Request this information from their employer (to which the worker should be linked on the NWSD)
• Refer directly to the state or territory authority that issued their Check
Check the comments for information relevant to providers and workers.
