If this critical certification is on your to-do list, here’s how you can learn to expand your opportunities and participate in tenders!

Time Code/Show Notes

0.26 Introducing QMS and Natasha – a brilliant system auditor, manager and consultant, highly experienced across NDIS, risk management, work, health and safety, health care and so much more.

2.03 QMS have powers to certify organisations to international standards. When you meet a special set of requirements, certification will set you above others in your industry.

4.10 Nick and Natasha discuss the evolution of HR. HR is about empowering people to achieve organisational goals. Is it mired in paperwork? Are people scared of HR? How has it changed over the decades?

5.54 NDIS exists to support people with disability. Unregistered and registered providers have access to different need groups.

Natasha and QMS can make recommendations to the commission to assist businesses with registration. In fact, they get organisations “ready” to work in the NDIS sphere. Making sure you have policies and procedures in place as quality indicators.

8.25 Have you considered how to become NDIS accredited?

There are opportunities across many industries – ie. construction businesses to build houses for NDIS participants.It can be both philanthropic and financial in reward.

8.50 When you become accredited in any area, you have lifted your

organisation’s standards. In construction, it has brought recent reward with 140 registered NDIS builders having received an extraordinary number of opportunities in a short space of time.

10.52 If you’re a builder, you require sound accreditation to build a certain standard of disability accommodation. There are design rules for dwellings to meet requirements with a huge demand for more accommodation across the country.

13.07 How do you prepare to become certified, so you can take on NDIS jobs?

Know what you want your business to achieve and how you want your business to support NDIS participants to support your application process.

14.27 Do you have a management system certified to an international standard? Often this is a requirement if you’re applying for tenders! For example, areas in asbestos and demolition.

Build efficiencies and elevate business. Accreditation to a quality management system will win you jobs over those you do not have them.

17.02 It’s never too early to seek ISO certification. Build your management system around those standards anyway… it’s not a bad thing to have an un-accredited system.
