How ready are you for an NDIS audit?

Have all your policies and procedures been reviewed and updated in the last 12 months?

Is your risk register a living document — updated when incidents happen, not just at registration time?

Do you run internal audits or self-assessments on a schedule, with records to prove it?

Could your key personnel explain your governance arrangements in an interview tomorrow?

Does every worker in a risk-assessed role hold a current NDIS Worker Screening Check?

Do you have a system that warns you before a screening check, first-aid certificate or qualification expires?

Are qualification and training records for every worker stored where you could produce them within an hour?

Is there a documented onboarding process showing each worker completed orientation and the NDIS worker modules?

Is your incident register complete and up to date, including near-misses?

Do your staff know what counts as a reportable incident and how quickly it must reach the NDIS Commission?

Can you show evidence that complaints led to action — not just that they were logged?

Is every participant's support plan current, person-centred, and aligned to their stated goals?

Do you hold signed service agreements and consent records for every active participant?

Can you evidence how participants give feedback and how that feedback changes what you do?

Are participant files complete — not "half-done" — for a random file an auditor might pull?

Do you know which registration groups you need and whether your pathway is verification or certification?

If mandatory registration applies to you (SIL or platform provider), have you lodged — or scheduled — your application ahead of 1 October 2026?

Have you obtained quotes from approved quality auditors, or booked an audit slot?
