➡️ Are you confused about the NDIS Worker Screening Check and how it differs from the old Yellow Card system? This video is here to help! Whether you're a worker, employer, or self-managing NDIS participant, we’ll break down everything you need to know to navigate these changes confidently.

🔎 What is the NDIS Worker Screening Check?
The NDIS Worker Screening Check is a nationally recognised safety screening system designed to protect NDIS participants. Introduced in 2021, it replaced the Queensland-specific Yellow Card, offering a more comprehensive and consistent approach. The Check is valid across all Australian states and territories, making it easier for workers to provide services interstate.

👥 Who Needs the NDIS Worker Screening Check?
Understanding who requires the check is critical:

Registered NDIS Providers: Workers in 'risk assessed roles' must have a valid check. This includes roles involving direct participant contact, sensitive information, or high-risk services.
Unregistered Providers: While not legally required, many unregistered providers voluntarily implement the check as a risk management practice.
Self-Managed Participants: If you manage your own NDIS funds, it’s your choice to request the check. Setting clear expectations with your workers is key to ensuring safety and compliance.
📋 How to Apply for the NDIS Worker Screening Check
Applying for the check is straightforward, but a few steps can streamline the process:

Visit your state or territory’s NDIS Worker Screening Unit website.
Fill out the required forms and provide consent for screening.
Pay the application fee (cost varies by state).
Have your employer verify your application if needed.
Tip: Double-check ID requirements to avoid delays!
⚖️ NDIS Worker Screening Check vs Yellow Card
Here’s how the new system compares to the Yellow Card:

Yellow Card: Limited to Queensland, focused mainly on criminal history, and not valid interstate.
NDIS Worker Screening Check: Nationally recognised, assesses a broader range of risks, and simplifies interstate work.
This change has created a unified, participant-focused safety standard across Australia.
