What Does NDIS Provider Compliance Mean?
NDIS providers must meet the NDIS Practice Standards and uphold participant rights, safety, service quality, and data security. Compliance is monitored by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, and registered providers undergo regular audits and spot checks.
A compliant provider will:
- Be registered with the NDIS Commission
- Complete regular third-party audits
- Have up-to-date policies, staff training, and reporting systems
- Meet safeguarding standards to protect participants from harm
