What Happens if You Fail an NDIS Audit?

Whether the auditors have found minor or major non-conformities, your first course of action will be the same: submit a Corrective Action Plan within five calendar days.

But while NDIS providers with minor non-conformities have 18 months to enact this plan, you’ll need to operate on a much faster timeline if you’ve got major non-conformities. You must implement the plan and book a new, corrective audit within three months.

Auditing definitions

We believe in simplicity, so hopefully these definitions will help you understand some important terms:

Non Conformity - means you simply are not following a procedure or requirement and evidence has been gathered to demonstrate this.

Corrective Action Action - this is the action you need to take to correct for non conformity and prevent a reoccurrence.

Do you have records for each individual staff member verifying that they have been screened?

Internal audits are a valuable opportunity for learning and improvement, if you approach them with the right mindset and culture.

Mid-term audits
NDIS providers are generally registered for a period of three years. Registered NDIS providers who deliver higher-risk and more complex supports requiring a certification audit are required to undergo a mid-term audit as a condition of their registration.

A mid-term audit must commence no later than 18 months after the beginning of the period of registration (unless otherwise specified by the Commissioner), and a report must be given to the Commissioner as soon as practicable after the audit is completed.

A mid-term audit includes an assessment of the NDIS Practice Standards relating to provider governance and operational management; as well as any standard which was previously assessed as requiring a corrective action plan; and may include additional NDIS Practice Standards, if specified by the Commissioner in writing.

The requirement for the mid-term audit does not apply to:

a provider that is an individual or partnership and early intervention supports for early childhood is the only registration group they are registered for that requires a certification audit; or
a provider who is only registered to provide specialist disability accommodation; or
a provider that is a transitioned provider.
