Working with children checks: Working with children checks are state and territory law, which this list does not cover. Whether a worker needs one, and the exemptions, are set by each state: Queensland, for example, exempts registered health practitioners acting in their professional capacity in specified circumstances. See the state laws page. NDIS worker screening is a separate clearance under the NDIS rules.
| Ref | Requirement (our statement of the clause) | Evidence an auditor or the regulator asks for | Common gap to check | Held (yes, partly, no, not applicable) | Where it is kept | Owner | Last reviewed | Next review |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P-7 | Explain in the service agreement what will be provided, when and where, and the skills of the staff; follow through on agreed actions and keep families informed; give families copies of all written reports; give cost, consent and risk information in an easy-to-understand way; say when a support should not be provided (for example lack of qualification or a conflict of interest) and discuss honestly when the NDIS is unlikely to fund something; market services accurately. Providers never give inaccurate information about their qualifications, and do not exaggerate results, pressure families (for example with fear of missing a place or of the child not catching up) or charge NDIS participants more without a valid reason.
