This check is a guide only and is not an assessment of NDIS suitability. Your answers stay on this page and are not sent to us. NDIS practitioner suitability is determined by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. Endorsement is guaranteed when you complete the training and supervision requirements. Completion of this course does not automatically make a person suitable to practise as an NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner. NDIS suitability decisions are made by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. ConnectFirst™ provides training, supervision and portfolio guidance to support genuine capability development. Internship places are limited and offered at ConnectFirst™'s discretion. Contractor opportunities are available to eligible practitioners following confirmation of suitability and successful onboarding. Hourly rates are subject to practitioner level and contractual arrangements.

Eligibility: your questions answered
Can I apply without a relevant bachelor degree?
The NDIS Commission considers a relevant qualification to be a bachelor degree (AQF Level 7) or higher in a relevant field, but may also consider other qualifications that align with the PBS Capability Framework.
