Quick answer

A practical checklist for preparing business details, key personnel, audit scope, policies, records, and worker screening before registration.

Confirm whether registration is required

Some supports require registration, including certain higher-risk supports and services delivered to participants with NDIA-managed funding. Check your registration groups before preparing evidence.

Prepare core evidence

Registration usually requires business, governance, and service delivery evidence before the quality audit can proceed.

  • Business and key personnel details
  • Registration groups and service locations
  • Policies and procedures
  • Worker screening evidence
  • Audit scope and required modules

Plan the audit path

Your registration groups determine whether the process involves verification or certification audit requirements. Keep the scope clear before engaging an approved quality auditor.
