Providers and workers must follow the NDIS Code of Conduct.

A Code of Conduct is a list of rules about how everyone should behave.

The NDIS Code of Conduct explains:

2 people using a laptop. Above them is a badge with a tick.
  • what good support is
A provider holding a clipboard and next to them is a question mark.
  • what you can expect from providers and workers
A person thinking and above them is a thought bubble with a problem icon in it.
  • how to know if something is wrong.
2 people talking to each other. Above them is a speech bubble that shows a shield with a cross on it.

Providers and workers must tell you if they can’t deliver safe and good supports.

Providers and workers must be:

  • clear
  • fair

This includes charging you a fair price for their services and supports.

Providers and workers must respect your:

  • rights
  • privacy.

We can take action when providers and workers break the rules.

For example, we can:

We can also stop providers and workers from:
