120 Exception—engaging in risk assessed role on work experience

A person may engage in work in a risk assessed role if—

(a) the person is a secondary student on a work experience placement who is exempt under the NDIS Worker Screening Rules from a requirement to hold an NDIS clearance; and

(b) the person—

(i) has not at any time been given an NDIS exclusion or an interstate NDIS exclusion or, having been given an NDIS exclusion or an interstate NDIS exclusion, has subsequently been given an NDIS clearance or an interstate NDIS clearance; and

(ii) is not subject to a relevant obligation or order.

Rule 14(c) of the NDIS Worker Screening Rules provides that a person may be engaged in a risk assessed role without an NDIS clearance if the person is a secondary student on a formal work experience placement with a registered NDIS provider, and is directly supervised by another worker of the provider who has a clearance.
