s 73ZNA and s 73U(5A)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).
