NDIS
Disability service providers wishing to remain registered with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Quality and Safeguards Commission (the NDIS Commission) are required to be audited to achieve either certification or verification against applicable components of the NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators. Components are determined according to the types of supports and services they deliver and the structure of their organisation.
As a Quality Auditor under the NDIS Commission, QIP supports disability service providers to achieve certification and verification against the NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators (NDIS Practice Standards).
