Screening and Risk Assessed Role Policy

The Screening and Risk Assessed Role Policy outlines an organisation’s requirements for worker screening and for identifying and managing risk assessed roles. The Screening and Risk Assessed Role Policy ensures that only suitable and appropriately screened workers deliver supports to NDIS participants. 

The Screening and Risk Assessed Role Policy is a mandatory requirement for NDIS providers to comply with the NDIS Practice Standards and the NDIS Worker Screening requirements. The Screening and Risk Assessed Role Policy demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to participant safety through rigorous workforce screening. 

The Screening and Risk Assessed Role Policy includes: 

• definitions of risk assessed roles and screening requirements, 
• procedures for obtaining and verifying NDIS Worker Screening Checks, 
• processes for identifying which roles require screening, 
• requirements for maintaining screening registers and monitoring expiry dates, 
• procedures for managing workers who do not have or fail to obtain clearance, and 
• responsibilities for ensuring compliance with state and territory screening legislation.

The Screening and Risk Assessed Role Policy is user-friendly and can be easily customised to reflect your organisation’s workforce structure and screening procedures. The Screening and Risk Assessed Role Policy is an essential policy for any NDIS provider committed to a safe and qualified workforce.
