NDIS Verification Audits with Audit Ready

Are you a NDIS provider delivering low-risk supports? You may need to complete a NDIS Verification Audit as part of your registration with the NDIS Commission. At Audit Ready Consultants, we help sole traders and small providers prepare for and pass their verification audit with confidence.

A NDIS Verification Audit is a desktop audit required for providers offering low-risk, lower-complexity services under the NDIS. Unlike certification audits, verification audits do not involve site visits or interviews. 

Instead, auditors assess your compliance based on submitted documentation such as policies, procedures, qualifications, insurances, and worker screening checks.

Verification audits apply to providers delivering services that are less intensive in nature and do not involve complex care or high-level participant interaction. Common examples include:

  • Cleaning and household maintenance
  • Gardening services
  • Therapeutic supports (e.g. occupational therapists, psychologists, speech pathologists)
  • Plan management

To register as a NDIS provider under the verification pathway, you must demonstrate that your business meets the relevant NDIS Practice Standards. This process ensures you’re operating safely, legally, and ethically and gives participants confidence in the quality of your services.

Whether you’re applying for initial NDIS registration or completing your registration renewal, a verification audit is a mandatory part of the process for eligible providers.

At Audit Ready Consultants, we make NDIS compliance simple. Our experienced team guides you through the verification process, helping you understand the requirements and avoid common pitfalls.

We assist with:

  • Audit readiness assessments tailored to verification audits
  • Policy and procedure templates aligned with NDIS Practice Standards that are customised to your organisation
  • Document reviews to ensure qualifications, insurances, and checks are in place
  • Guidance responding to auditor feedback and non-conformities

Whether you’re a sole trader or a small business, we’ll help you feel confident, prepared, and ready to succeed.

Get audit ready with confidence.

If you provide higher-risk, more complex supports such as personal care, behaviour support, or supported independent living, you’ll need to complete a Certification Audit. This type of audit involves a comprehensive, two-stage process, including a review of your documentation and an on-site assessment by an approved NDIS auditor. You’ll also need to demonstrate how your organisation meets the relevant NDIS Practice Standards through your systems, practices, and service delivery.

If you’re unsure where your services sit, or you’re preparing for your first Certification Audit, our team can help you get audit ready.

A NDIS Verification Audit is a desktop review conducted by an approved quality auditor to assess whether low-risk NDIS providers meet the relevant NDIS Practice Standards.

Providers delivering low-risk or lower-complexity supports such as plan management, therapeutic services, cleaning, or gardening must undergo a Verification Audit to register with the NDIS Commission.

Common documents include professional qualifications, public liability and professional indemnity insurance, NDIS Worker Screening Checks, Working with Children Checks (if relevant), and documented policies and procedures that align with the NDIS Practice Standards.

Verification Audits apply to low-risk providers and involve a desktop review only. Certification Audits are required for higher-risk supports and include a more comprehensive two-stage process with an on-site audit component.

Once your documentation is complete and ready to go, the next step is to schedule the audit at a mutually convenient time with your approved quality auditor. This may vary depending on the auditor’s availability. Working with an experienced consultant can help you ensure your documents are audit-ready from the start, reducing the risk of delays and making the scheduling process smoother.

No. If your registration group falls under the verification pathway, you must complete and pass a Verification Audit to become a registered NDIS provider.

If there are non-conformities identified during your audit, you will be required to submit a corrective action plan and undertake a follow up audit. Our team can support you to address these issues quickly and effectively.

Costs vary depending on the approved quality auditor you choose. However, because verification audits are desktop-based, they are generally more affordable than certification audits.

We provide end-to-end support, including document preparation, policy development, and guidance on meeting all audit requirements helping you save time and feel confident in your submission.

No. NDIS registration is typically valid for 3 years. However, you’ll need to complete a new Verification Audit when your registration is due for renewal.
