## Five Good Friends is a proud registered provider of NDIS services

To match you with Members living with disability and funded by the NDIS, you need to have an approved Disability Background Screening check.

In February 2021, the [National NDIS Worker Screening Check](https://www.ndiscommission.gov.au/providers/worker-screening) was released by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission as part of a national approach to worker criminal history screening. 

## Applying for the NDIS Worker Screening Check

You are only required to apply for the check if:

*   You are wanting to be matched with an NDIS Member and do not have an NDIS Worker Screening Clearance, or
*   Your existing NDIS Worker Screening Check is due to expire within the next 90 days. 

You can apply through the relevant State Government website:

*   [New South Wales](https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/ndiswc)
*   [Queensland](https://workerscreening.communities.qld.gov.au/)
*   [South Australia](https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/rights-and-law/rights-and-responsibilities/screening-checks)
*   [Tasmania](https://cbos.tas.gov.au/topics/licensing-and-registration/registrations/work-with-vulnerable-people/rwvp-ndis-worker-screening)
*   [Victoria](https://www.vic.gov.au/ndis-worker-screening-check)

If you already have the NDIS Worker Screening Check and have not previously provided this to Five Good Friends please email [recruitment@fivegoodfriends.com.au](mailto:recruitment@fivegoodfriends.com.au). We will be able to offer you more opportunities for Member matches.

## What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme ([NDIS](https://www.ndis.gov.au/))  is how Australians under the age of 65 living with disability receive the supports they need. It is a lifelong approach that gives people with disability choice and control so they can make their own decisions about their lives and helps them reach their goals. 

## NDIS Orientation Certificate

If you are interested in being matched with NDIS-funded Members, it is a mandatory industry requirement that you complete an NDIS Orientation Certificate. The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission launched a free online short course to assist all workers in the disability sector to better support people with disability. It takes approximately 90 minutes to complete. [Details are available here](https://helper-support.fivegoodfriends.com.au/en_us/ndis-orientation-course-rk3q9toW2).
