sec.63 Complying with requirement to end, or not start, person’s engagement
This section applies if it would be an offence against a provision of this part for an NDIS service provider or funded service provider to engage, or continue to engage, a person (the engaged person ) to carry out disability work. The NDIS service provider or funded service provider must comply with the provision despite another Act or law or any industrial award or agreement. The NDIS service provider or funded service provider does not incur any liability because, in complying with the provision, the service provider does not engage, or continue to engage, the engaged person to carry out disability work. A person whose clearance is suspended under division 6 , or whose interstate NDIS clearance is suspended under a corresponding law, may be engaged by the NDIS service provider or funded service provider other than to carry out disability work until the suspension ends. s 63 prev s 63 om 2010 No. 5 s 83 pres s 63 ins 2010 No. 5 s 101 amd 2016 No. 9 s 19 ; 2018 No. 19 s 9 ; 2019 No. 19 s 81 sch 1 sub 2020 No. 39 s 11 (sec.63-ssec.1) This section applies if it would be an offence against a provision of this part for an NDIS service provider or funded service provider to engage, or continue to engage, a person (the engaged person ) to carry out disability work.
