Benefits of Using NDIS Registered Provider
You should have an NDIS plan if you have recently completed the NDIS planning process. This plan will contain information about you, your goals, and who you are receiving informal support. It also includes details about how you’re funded in each support category (core support, capacity building, capital support) to enable you to access disability support services.
It’s now time to find the right providers for you. We are often asked whether registered NDIS providers are required for support services. What are the benefits of using them?
What is an NDIS provider, and what are its benefits?
The NDIS providers are businesses, individuals, and organizations that provide services to help you reach your goals. These providers could include large businesses, charities, small non-profits, sole traders, or any other type.
They can provide everything from support coordination and plan management to home and community nursing, therapy, car, house modifications, and social support and therapy. It is important to remember that just because a provider has not been registered doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t as good, and they might not have the finances or time to apply for NDIS registration.
What are the advantages of using a registered NDIS provider?
NDIS-registered providers have applied for accreditation to the NDIA. They have met strict safety and quality standards to be accredited.
These providers must apply to the NDIS Safety and Quality Commission to be registered as NDIS providers. They must conduct an audit of the NDIS Practice Standards. Additionally, they must adhere to the NDIS code of conduct and support workers in meeting its requirements.
The NDIS will conduct an assessment of the organization. After making their decision, the NDIS will assess the organization and issue a Certificate to Register.
To be approved as an organization, they must:
- Have in-house complaint management and resolution system and support participants who have to file a complaint.
- Have an incident management system and notify the NDIS Commission about any reported incidents.
- Ensure all workers are screened using a new national worker screening procedure.
- Meet new behavior support requirements, if applicable. This includes reporting restrictive practices to NDIS Commission.
You know that they are safe and reliable when NDIS endorses them.
