Your next steps:
1. If you haven’t got one already apply for an NDIS Worker Clearance check via this link: NDIS Worker Screening Check | Victorian Government (www.vic.gov.au)- once you get online and do the check they will notify us and we will authorise it. The check costs $121.10.

Allow plenty of time and patience, the online system can be a little testy. If you don’t have any luck online, you can submit your application manually but that takes longer to approve. If you submit a manual application, please let us know. If you already have the check just let us know and we will look you up in our system.
If you haven’t got a current Working with Children’s Check (WWCC) you will also need to apply for one via this link Home | Working with Children, the fee for the WWCC can be waived after you get your NDIS Worker Clearance check – more information can be found here: NDIS Worker Screening Check | Victorian Government (www.vic.gov.au)
