- About us
In NSW, NDIS worker screening is called the NDIS Worker Check (NDISWC).
It operates under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Worker Checks) Act 2018 (NSW).
It is administered by a screening unit established within the Office of the Children’s Guardian (NSW Government).
Service NSW (NSW Government) assists us by hosting our online application and making the NDIS Worker Check available as a digital credential in your MyServiceNSW account.
Note: if you applied for your NDIS worker screening in another state or territory, you need to contact the NDIS worker screening unit in that state or territory.
