If you have a volunteer check and then move into paid employment where you work with an NDIS employer, you'll need to update the details of your NDIS Worker Check and pay a fee.
You:
- only need to upgrade your check if the paid work is for 7 or more days a year
- must upgrade your NDIS Worker Check within 28 days of starting paid employment.
Upgrade your check
To upgrade your check from volunteer to employee, login to your screening account and select the 'Upgrade' button next to your screening details. You won’t need to verify your ID again, but you'll need to pay the fee.
Fee to upgrade check
Volunteers moving into paid employment must pay a fee based on the time remaining on their current 5-year check.
The expiry date of your check will not change.
Time left on check | Fee |

Up to 12 months | $28 |
12 months to 2 years | $56 |
2 to 3 years | $84 |
3 to 4 years | $112 |
