What Bull Creek NDIS providers need to know

Bull Creek sits within Western Australia and serves around 120 NDIS participants. South-east suburb. Established community — stable workforce.

State-specific compliance for Western Australia providers

NDIS workers in Western Australia must hold a current NDIS Worker Screening Check (WA) clearance before delivering supports. Worker Screening is portable across states but you must ensure each worker's clearance is current and valid.

Worker-screening is in addition to a Working With Children Check (WA) if your services involve people under 18.
