As part of applying to be a registered disability worker, we now accept a Victorian NDIS Worker Screening Check to save you time.
Disability worker registration is different to the NDIS Worker Screening Check. However, if you have a current NDIS Worker Screening ID number you can provide this when you apply and you won't have to undergo a national police check again.
When applying for registration, you also have to prove your identity with documents such as a passport, Medicare card or drivers licence. With changes to our process, if you have stored your verified identity with Service Victoria then you won't need to prove your identity again.
Registration is currently free, voluntary, increases overall community confidence in the sector and ensures that people with disability can access safe and quality services – no matter how they are funded. Registered workers appear on the Public Register.
Through registration, the Victorian Disability Worker Commission supports disability workers to be the best and most competent professionals they can be. This update to our registration process will help to ensure more workers can become registered and have their skills and experience recognised.
If you’ve been thinking about becoming a registered disability worker or know someone who’s interested, there’s never been a better time to apply.
