Consulting for NDIS Auditing!
NDIS service providers aim to improve the quality of life of the participants. But in recent times there are reports of less scrupulous services by some NDIS providers. In this scenario, as NDIS providers are in the limelight, you cannot get away with poor services. People usually come up in this sector as they are compassionate about humanity and they want to give optimum services for the betterment of their participants. NDIS providers are involved in a service that improves people’s quality of life and if poor service is rendered to them, it will put participants’ lives at risk. Resultantly, the decision of registration as a new NDIS provider or retaining the existing registration would depend on full compliance with NDIS compliance procedures and processes. NDIS auditing by a professional consultant will help bridge compliance gaps and will ensure quality services by a provider.
NDIS Auditing: Bringing Transparency to NDIS Businesses!
While NDIS providers are constantly striving for
delivering the best services to ensure the well-being of participants, an
internal audit of the organization may bring transparency to the process. It
allows you to monitor and evaluate your organization’s governance and
compliance with the NDIS procedures. This shows us whether we are serving the
participants and other stakeholders ethically and legally or not. Internal
Audit gives you an insight into whether a provider meets the standard procedure
to be compliant with NDIS. Some of the highlights of compliance process are as
follows:
- Reporting Requirements
- Incident handling and documentation of Incidents
- Notifying NDIS about incidents
