NDIS Worker Screening Check

What is it?

Screening for the National Disability Insurance Scheme

What do I need?

Evidence of approved clearance

How long will it take?

Up to six weeks

Students who are placed with a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider in risk assessed roles must have clearance to do so via the NDIS Worker Screening Check.

Please note that the NDIS Worker Screening Check does not apply to all courses. The placement team within your School or Department will let you know whether your placement provider is registered with NDIS. The check will appear as a mandatory requirement in Sonia if applicable.

This check will incur a processing fee.

Requirements

You will need to apply for a NDIS Worker Screening Check via the NDIS website.

When prompted you will need to enter the following details on your application:

  • Organisation: The University of Melbourne
  • Employer ID: 4-G1ICW7R

Once your application has been accepted, the MDHS Student Hub will verify you as a current student and confirm your request on the NDIS database.

You will receive a Worker Screening ID once your application has been assessed by NDIS. It usually takes up to three weeks for your application to be assessed after we have verified your request.

Evidence

Once you have received your Worker Screening ID from NDIS, log onto the NDIS check in Sonia and enter your Screening ID number in the reference field and click submit

OR

Upload a copy of your clearance notification email (including your name, Worker Screening ID and expiry date) into Sonia.

More details

  • The online NDIS Worker Screening Check requires very specific identity documents. If you are an international student you may prefer to use the offline application process, which can accept a wider range of identity documents.

    There may be circumstances where you do not have a referee for your  application. You can add ‘no referee’ to the application however, NDIS will process this manually and it will increase the processing timeframes. Please keep this in mind when preparing your compliance and allow sufficient time for processing.
