Why is it relevant for a service provider to identify the company’s registration group?
It is important on the side of the service provider as registration groups will determine whether your company requires a certification audit or a verification audit.
What are NDIS Verification Audits?
These are audits done off-site, auditors will also review pertinent documents of the organization.
What are NDIS Certification Audits?
Are audits that are more detailed, thorough, and more expensive as opposed to verification audits. It involves 2 stages: Stage 1 – review of the documents, stage 2 -onsite visit. Auditors will be interviewing staff to ensure that policies are clearly understood and practiced accordingly. The audit report will then be released pertaining to the things that need to be tweaked, changed, or corrected.
In the event that a service provider offers both high and low-risk services, the service provider still needs to undergo certification audits.
