This includes volunteer workers, workers engaged through third parties such as labour-hire agencies, and sole traders who are both the provider and the worker for the purposes of the check. Applications must be verified by the organisation or person the applicant currently works for or intends to work for, which may be an NDIS registered provider, an unregistered provider, or a self-managed NDIS participant. Applicants must provide required identity documents and complete the application through Service Victoria or use a manual process where eligible. A volunteer must be in a risk assessed role to be eligible for the volunteer fee waiver.
