Screening Your Support Workers: what you need to know when hiring
Presented by Self Manager Hub with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission
When you hire or engage your own support workers, how do you know what checks you should ask for?
Is a police check enough? What is an NDIS Worker Screening Check? When might a Working with Children Check also be needed? And how can you make sure you know if a worker’s screening status changes after you hire them?
Self Manager Hub and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission hosted a practical workshop designed for people who self-manage or self-direct their supports.
We take the confusion out of worker screening and explain what the different checks actually tell you, how the NDIS Worker Screening system works, and how you can use it to make informed decisions about the people you engage.
This workshop covers
- NDIS Worker Screening Checks, Police Checks and Working with Children Checks
- Why NDIS Worker Screening is different
- How to get your workers screened
