NDIS Practice Standard 2.6 requires that all workers are properly inducted before they begin working with participants. A worker who starts providing supports without completing induction — even an experienced support worker from another provider — is a compliance gap that auditors find and flag. AuditCore tracks induction completion for every worker with a signed, dated record.
What Must Be Covered in NDIS Worker Induction
Organisation and Governance
- Organisational structure and key contacts
- Code of conduct and expected behaviours
- Relevant policies and how to access them
- Privacy and confidentiality obligations
- Conflict of interest policy
AuditCore's Worker Compliance module stores induction records, screening checks, and mandatory training completions for every staff member — giving auditors instant evidence of your HR compliance.

Documentation Requirements
Induction completion must be documented — a signed induction checklist with the date and the worker's name. This document is what auditors look for. A verbal induction with no record is the same as no induction in the eyes of an auditor. AuditCore stores a signed digital induction record for every worker, timestamped and linked to their worker profile.
Induction vs. Ongoing Training
Induction covers what a worker needs to know before they start. Ongoing training covers what they need to maintain and develop. AuditCore tracks both — induction completion for new workers and mandatory training currency for existing workers, including refresher training on key topics like incident reporting and participant rights.
How AuditCore Manages Worker Induction
When a new worker is added to AuditCore, the system automatically creates an induction task list based on your configured requirements. The worker's profile shows induction status — incomplete, in progress, or complete — and the compliance dashboard flags any worker who is providing supports before induction is fully documented. Managers receive an alert if a worker's induction record is missing.
