NDIS Standards

Do you aim to deliver services to NDIS participants specially to those with risk assessed role? It is best recommended that you will need to register with the NDIS.  Once registered, you will need to meet the conditions of registration.  One of the conditions is complying with the NDIS Practice Standards through a Certification or a Verification Audit.  The registration groups you register against and the structure of your organistion outline the audit process you need to achieve. Get in touch to find out how we can help make sure your business is in best practices of NDIS Health and Quality management system.

NDIS Standards (National Disability Insurance Scheme) The NDIS Health and Quality Framework is used by the NDIS Commission to approve NDIS registered providers and their ability to provide services to NDIS participants.

Quality and safeguard requirements under the NDIS Commission include:

  • Compliance with the NDIS Code of Conduct, including an orientation module for workers
  • Meeting NDIS Practice Standards
  • Ensuring a complaints system is in place
  • Reporting certain types of incidents to the NDIS Commission, including incidents or allegations of abuse and neglect
  • Complying with requirements in relation to behaviour support plans and the use of restrictive practices. NDIS Standards (National Disability Insurance Scheme) which will be used by NDIS Providers will either have to verify or certify their organisations against these standards.
The disability employment and supported employment services referred to in DES/SES Scheme are those that receive funding under the Commonwealth Disability Services Act 1986 for programs administered by the Department of Social Services (DSS). In addition, employment services for people with disability incorporate any organisations offering employment services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013.
“NDIS Commission“
The NDIS represents a fundamental change to the way people with disability are supported in their everyday lives. This change requires the right systems and protections to be in place to oversee NDIS services and supports.
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (NDIS Commission) is an independent regulator body that has been established to improve the quality and safety of NDIS supports and services. This framework is designed to promote high quality supports and safe environments for all NDIS participants.
NDIS Quality and Safeguards (NDIS Commission) began operating in:
1 July 2018 New South Wales (NSW) and South Australia (SA)
1 July 2019 Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Victoria (VIC), Tasmania (TAS), Northern Territory (NT), Queensland (QLD)
1 July 2020 Western Australia (WA)
Until the NDIS Commission begins operating in WA, current state quality and safeguards requirements will continue to apply for providers providing services in WA.
NDIS Practice Standards
The NDIS Practice Standards create an important benchmark for providers to assess their performance, and to demonstrate how they provide high quality and safe supports and services to NDIS participants. Together with the NDIS Code of Conduct, the NDIS Practice Standards will assist NDIS participants to be aware of what quality service provision they should expect from NDIS providers. The outcomes of the NDIS Practice Standards are included within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Provider Registration and Practice Standards) Rules 2018. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (Quality Indicators) Guidelines 2018 list the outcomes of the NDIS Practice Standards and the associated quality indicators NDIS providers can use to demonstrate conformity with the outcomes. The NDIS Practice Standards consist of a core module and several supplementary modules that apply according to the types of supports and services NDIS providers deliver, and the corporate structure of the organisation.
The Core module covers:
rights and responsibility for participants
governance and operational management
the provision of supports, and
the support provision environment
The supplementary modules cover:
High intensity daily personal activities
Specialist behaviour support
Implementing behaviour support plans
Early childhood supports
Specialised support co-ordination, and
Specialist disability accommodation.
