From 22 November 2021, requests for information were issued requiring weekly reporting of the COVID-19 vaccination status of workers employed, or otherwise engaged, who are required under public health orders to be fully vaccinated to continue delivering NDIS supports and services. Please see our 22 November 2021 Provider Alert for further information. The request for information included a Quick Reference Guide, which has now been updated to support providers in providing the required information through the NDIS Commission Portal.
