It’s great you're interested in applying to join our community. There are thousands of people living with disability on Hireup ready to connect with quality support workers.
To keep our clients and our workers safe and to comply with NDIS requirements as a registered provider, all of our support workers will be asked to upload the following documents, along with Photo ID. If you already have the below checks, great! We’ll ask you to upload them during the application process.
If you don’t have the following checks, here’s what you’ll need to apply for.
The last table at the bottom of this article outlines transitional documents that you may be able to use in lieu of an NDIS workers screening.
