NDIS Act s 73ZNA and s 73U(5A)
NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission
NDIS (Provider Registration and Practice Standards) Rules 2018, Compilation No. 6 (F2026C00527), in force 1 July 2026, with NDIS Act 2013 Part 3A as in Compilation No. 27 (C2026C00401)
6 October 2026, Federal Register: latest version on 6 October 2026
Registered NDIS providers, every profession. Unregistered providers are not bound by these Rules.
The plan management changes made by the latest amending Act start on proclamation and are not in force. The provisions this product cites are in force.
A person against whom a banning order is made must not breach it or its conditions (fault-based offence up to 5 years' imprisonment or 300 penalty units, strict liability offence and civil penalty). Providers check the NDIS Provider Register's banning order list before engaging workers, key personnel and contractors, since employing a banned person in breach of an order and failing the Code of Conduct and screening duties exposes the provider; approved quality auditors can be required not to engage banned persons (s 73U(5A)). Since 9 April 2026 banning orders can also be made against applicants for registration, approved quality auditors and the other persons listed in s 73ZN(2C) (Integrity and Safeguarding Act 2026).
- Banning order register check recorded for every new worker, key person and contractor
- Periodic re-check of the existing workforce against the register
- Checks only at hiring, never repeated
- Contractors and consultants not checked
