Clause and reference Rules ss 20 and 22 of the NDIS (Provider Registration and Practice Standards) Rules 2018 · our reference s20-22
The requirement
To be registered for a class of supports, the applicant is assessed by an approved quality auditor, by certification or verification as the s 20(3) table specifies, as meeting each applicable standard, plus Module 2A by certification where regulated restrictive practices are or may be used; to remain registered it keeps complying with those standards (s 20(1) and (2)). Individuals and partnerships providing early childhood supports are assessed against Core clause 7 and Module 3 (s 20(4) and (5)); Commonwealth, State, Territory and local government providers are certified against the whole Core module for any class (s 22). Certification satisfies a verification requirement (s 23), and auditors apply the quality indicators (s 24).
