Read this important information before applying for an NDIS endorsement

Before applying for NDIS worker screening, you first must apply for a registration to work with children with an NDIS endorsement. To get this endorsement, your NDIS employer (this includes an NDIS participant) must verify your work. Your application will NOT proceed without this verification. You will need to provide your employer details so have this information ready before starting your application. Further instructions are provided when you apply.

PLEASE NOTE: you cannot apply for an NDIS endorsement if you do not have an NDIS employer

When to renew

  • you will receive a reminder (email or SMS) before your expiry date
  • the earliest you can renew is 30 days before your expiry date
  • if your registration has expired, you can still renew up to 30 days after your expiry date. Your registration will start from when your renewal is approved
  • if your registration expires, you will not be able to work or volunteer in a child-related activity until you are re-registered
