Assessing NDIS Audit Findings
What separates a good audit from a great one is the ability to make sound, balanced judgments based on what’s been observed. This course supports auditors in interpreting audit evidence, identifying nonconformities, and drawing fair, consistent conclusions grounded in the NDIS Practice Standards.
You'll learn how to assess the significance of what you find during an audit, how to weigh the risk of harm, and how to determine the right course of action—without over- or under-reacting. It's about looking beyond surface-level gaps and identifying what really matters to participant outcomes and provider obligations.
This microcredential builds the analytical and professional communication skills required to assess audit findings clearly and constructively—so your work doesn’t just satisfy compliance but supports real improvement.
Who This Course Is For
Ideal for:
- Auditors developing confidence in interpreting NDIS audit evidence
- Lead auditors reviewing or validating the findings of audit teams
- ISO auditors transitioning into disability and person-centred assessment work
- Sector consultants or managers supporting audit outcomes and improvement planning
- Anyone seeking to align audit decision-making with NDIS values, standards, and risk context
Why Take This Course?
Because seeing something is only the beginning—understanding its impact is what makes your findings meaningful.
This course guides you through the thinking process behind audit judgments: How serious is this issue? What is the likelihood of harm? What level of evidence is enough? It also equips you with the language to frame those findings in a way that is respectful, clear, and grounded in the Standards.
It’s not just about identifying problems—it’s about making sure your assessments support safer, more inclusive services.
