          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK:</by>  I can repeat for the benefit of the honourable member that the requirement for organisations that are providing services funded under the NDIS sits with the NDIS (Practice Standards—Worker Screening) Rules 2018 made under the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013. The matter in relation to whether organisations have their workers appropriately screened or not is a legislative requirement that is very precisely located in the NDIS Act and is the responsibility of the Quality and Safeguards Commission.</text>
