This instrument lists specific state and territory worker‑screening Acts and declares them to be “NDIS worker screening laws” for section 10B of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (s5).
Mechanically, it recognises those state/territory screening schemes — “as in force from time to time” — as the screening basis for NDIS workers, making providers and workers subject to the listed Acts and placing operational responsibility with states and territories while reducing direct federal discretion over screening content (s5).
