🧩 How to Get Started in Disability Support Work (Queensland
1️⃣ NDIS Worker Screening Card (Disability Worker Screening Clearance)
In Queensland, if you’re working in a risk-assessed role with an NDIS registered provider, you must hold a Disability Worker Screening Clearance (often called the NDIS Worker Screening Card).
• You apply online through the Queensland Worker Screening portal
• Your employer will usually need to link or verify your application
• If you work with children, you can apply for a combined Worker Screening + Blue Card
🔗 Apply here:
https://www.workerscreening.qld.gov.au/
2️⃣ Blue Card (Working With Children)
If you provide disability support to children or young people under 18, you’ll need a Blue Card.
• You can apply separately or as a combined application with your Worker Screening Card
• Required for most child-related disability support roles
🔗 More info & applications:
https://www.qld.gov.au/bluecard
3️⃣ National Police Check
Most providers will ask for a National Police Check, sometimes in addition to your Worker Screening clearance.
• Must be a valid Australian Police Check
• Often required to be recent (e.g. within the last 12 months)
🔗 QLD Police info:
https://www.police.qld.gov.au/documents-for-purchase/national-police-certificates
4️⃣ First Aid & CPR
You’ll usually need current First Aid and CPR certification before starting work.
Look for accredited courses such as:
• HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid
• CPR refresher courses
Available through St John Ambulance, Red Cross, TAFE and other registered providers across QLD.
5️⃣ NDIS Orientation Module – “Quality, Safety & You”
This is a free online course from the NDIS Commission that explains:
• Your role as a support worker
• The NDIS Code of Conduct
• Safety and quality expectations
• Self-paced
• Certificate provided on completion
• Often required as part of induction
🔗 Complete it here:

6️⃣ Comprehensive Vehicle Insurance (For Work Use)
If you’re using your own car to support participants (transport to appointments, community access, shopping, outings), you must have comprehensive vehicle insurance that covers business or work use.
• Standard personal car insurance may not cover you while working
• Let your insurer know you’re using your vehicle for disability support work
• Many providers will ask for proof of insurance before you start
💡 This protects you, your vehicle, and the people you support.
