NDIS Worker Onboarding Checklist (2026)

Most NDIS providers churn 30-40% of new support workers in the first 90 days. The reason is rarely "wrong worker" - it is a sloppy onboarding sequence that leaves the worker uncared-for and the providers compliance file with audit-fatal gaps.

This 6-page checklist walks through the 14-day onboarding sequence used by providers who pass audit cleanly on the worker-compliance section.

What is inside:

• The 14-day sequence from contract signing to first independent shift
• The 6 compliance documents every NDIS worker needs filed, with the common gap per item
• The four moving parts (compliance docs, role training, shadow shifts, supported shifts)
• A 14-question self-assessment scoring sheet
• The audit reconstruction pattern most providers fail
