NDIS Quality Support for Children (guidance) on the standards library
Providers and their workers who care for or work with children hold a valid Working with Children Check for the state or territory they work in; workers of registered NDIS providers in roles that need it hold an NDIS Worker Screening Check clearance (any provider or worker may apply); clinicians hold the professional registration their profession requires (the source names each profession's registering or certifying body; those names are left out here); and no service is provided without professional liability insurance or outside work health and safety laws. Visitors to the service are checked before working with or around children.
The source names the bodies or products here; the names are left out.
