Am I eligible?
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (or NDIS Commission for short) is dedicated to ensuring that only the most suitable, honest and trustworthy people become NDIS providers. They were put in place to improve and protect the quality and safety of NDIS supports and services. A major step to ensure safety of supports and suitability of NDIS registered providers is that an individual or company who wishes to become an NDIS provider, must meet pre-determined suitability criteria. Here we will outline the criteria that the NDIS Commission have put in place.
To become Registered, you need to have the right to work and live in Australia. If you are a citizen or permanent resident of Australia, then you will automatically meet this criteria. If you are not a resident of Australia, and you are visiting the country for study or travel purposes then you may need to check your visa restrictions and consider if registering a business is something that your visa limitations permit. You can also visit the Australian Business Government website to find out more about visa restrictions.
Some of the services that can be provided within the NDIS registration groups that you may wish to apply for, will require a specific qualification or even accreditation with a regulatory board such as AHPRA or a professional body (such as the ACA or PACFA if you are a counsellor, for example). If you are unsure about whether the services you wish to provide have any pre-required qualifications or other registrations, book in a call with our expert team today.
