How to become an NDIS Support Worker


SEEK Learning
You can work as an NDIS Support Worker without formal qualifications, but background checks and up-to-date immunisations are required. A tertiary qualification in individual support may be beneficial. Some on-the-job training may be provided.

  1. Ensure you have up-to-date immunisations. Some employers may also require you to have a current Australian driver’s licence and your own vehicle.
  2. Apply online to get your NDIS Worker Check. This may require other checks such as a Working with Children Check, Police Check, and/or First Aid certificate. Your NDIS Worker Check must be verified by a current or prospective employer to be valid.
