During the festive period, the NDIS Worker Screening Unit’s contact centre will be available from 9am to 3pm, between Wednesday 24 December and Wednesday 31 December 2025. Normal operating hours will resume from 2 January 2026. While we will be closed for the public holidays, our online resources will continue to be available.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Worker Screening Check (Check) is a compulsory screening strategy for people who work in risk-assessed roles for registered NDIS providers.
The NDIS Check is valid for five years across Australia. During this period, cleared workers are subject to ongoing monitoring of their criminal history and other relevant information.
It is a mechanism that helps NDIS providers determine that individuals seeking to work, or already working, in certain NDIS roles do not present an unacceptable risk of harm to people with disability.
The NDIS Check is a national tool and is administered by Worker Screening Units in each state or territory. In Western Australia, the Screening Unit operates within the Department of Communities.
