If you’ve decided to switch your NDIS approved disability provider in Melbourne and want to keep your same NDIS account number, you can do so at any time. You don’t need to provide reasons for the switch. After all, you’re the one who gets to decide which support and services you receive.
An NDIS Registered Disability Support Provider is a service provider who has met stringent government standards of quality and safety. They must also adhere to the NDIS Code of Conduct and undergo audits. Here are some things to know about becoming an NDIS Registered Disability Support Provider. In addition to these qualifications, you can also ask the NDIS about the types of support available from these service providers.
An important deciding factor in switching your disability provider in Melbourne is to review the spectrum of services you are being provided. NDIS money can be used for various social events, medical appointments, and educational support. It can also be used to pay for therapeutic supports, such as physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and audiology. Therapeutic supports also include house and car modifications, including adaptive equipment.
While non-registered providers may be as knowledgeable and skilled as licensed professionals, they may not have the capacity to complete the NDIS registration process. Smaller businesses often lack the resources to complete the process. Non-registered providers aren’t required to pass an audit, and their services are not vetted by the NDIS.
NDIS Registered Disability provider must meet strict government quality and safety standards. This includes an extensive incident management system. In cases where NDIS standards are violated, service providers need to be more proactive. For example, failures to meet standards must be followed up with a more stringent response. For NDIS service providers to be NDIS registered, they must be accredited by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
The NDIS has implemented a code of conduct for all providers and suppliers of NDIS services. The NDIS Commission and the ACCC have co-signed a letter reminding NDIS registered providers that they must follow the Code of Conduct. Violations of the Code of Conduct may result in civil penalties, warnings, or de-registration. Even the unregistered providers risk the same penalties as registered providers and can be barred from providing disability support in the future.
Besides the NDIS Code of Conduct, registered disability support providers must also abide by the Australian Standards for Health and Safety in the Workplace (ASH), the Health Quality Framework of Victoria, and the National Employment Standards (EQQA) of Australia. These standards are designed to protect the rights and safety of workers, clients, and advocates. They also require employers and workers to follow the Code.
