How do I login to NDIS?
Provider Digital Access (PRODA) is being replaced with myID and Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM). Providers need to transition to myID and RAM to access NDIS provider portals.
New provider organisations must set up myID and RAM to access NDIS provider portals. Existing providers onboarding new staff must ensure the staff member is set up with myID and authorised in RAM to access NDIS provider portals.

What is the NDIS background check?
An NDIS worker screening check is where a state or territory worker screening unit assesses (on belahf of the NDIS Commission) whether a worker poses a threat to a person with disability.

-an employee, volunteer, contractor or student who works for:
–a registered provider in a risk-assessed role or key personnel role
–a registered provider who has decided that all their workers need to have an NDIS worker screening check
–an unregistered provider who has decided that their workers need to have an NDIS worker screening check.
OR
-a self-employed worker or a sole trader who:
-is a registered provider
-supports a self-managed NDIS participant who has decided that all their engaged workers need to have an NDIS worker screening check.
What checks and compliance requirements are required to become an NDIS provider?
Each Key Management Personnel and Worker must maintain 100 points of ID, and pass an NDIS Worker Screening Check. Some providers also require Working with Children Checks.

What types of disabilities and supports can NDIS providers deliver services for?
Participant supports are arranged into three categories: core, capital and capacity building.
Core: A support that helps a participant complete daily living activities.
Capital: A support for an investment, such as assistive technologies, equipment and home or vehicle modifications, or funding for capital costs (e.g. to pay for Specialist Disability Accommodation).
Capacity building: A support that helps a participant build their independence and skills.
More information about the type of supports that the NDIS may fund is available in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements: https://www.ndis.gov.au/providers/pricing-arrangements
How does NDIS funding work from an NDIS provider’s perspective?
Participant Plan funding and management type may dictate how a provider gets paid. Services are only funded if they are classified as an NDIS support, and included in a Participant’s plan/budget.
Self-managed participants
-Participants who are self-managing their plan are invoiced by, and pay, providers directly.
-Participants need a receipt from the provider to acquit the expenditure against their plan using the myplace participant portal.
Plan-managed participants
-Where a participant has a plan manager assisting them, providers need to send invoices directly to the participant’s plan manager. Invoices must include a valid ABN unless the provider is exempt from quoting an ABN.
-The plan manager will process the payment through the myplace provider portal and pay the provider.
NDIA-managed participants
-Registered providers need to submit a payment request through the myplace provider portal to receive payment for services or supports for participants who are NDIA-managed.
-Refer to the Using the myplace provider portal step-by-step guides for detailed steps on making payment requests.
-Providers need to submit a payment request within 90 days from the end of the service booking.
-Providers will need the following information to claim:
–participant name
–participant reference number or NDIS number
–dates of support
–support item reference number
–support item price.
