How to Become NDIS Registered Provider?

There are over 222,000 NDIS-certified providers throughout Australia. This is only a tiny part of the total number of organisations and individuals who support over 466,000 NDIS participants and their families.

Many businesses remain unregistered, as becoming registered can be time-consuming and costly.

Do you want to think about getting registered with NDIS? We'll look at the benefits and drawbacks of this, so you know whether it's a good fit for your company.


Who is eligible to use NDIS licensed providers?



NDIS participants with agency (or NDIA) programs can only access NDIS-certified providers. This is roughly 20% of participants in the NDIS.

Participants who decide to collaborate with a plan administrator such as Leap in! or self-manage can use any service regardless of whether they're certified or not. Most users either self-manage or semi-self-manage, and 49% are plans managed.


What are the reasons you need to become an NDIS registered provider?


  • Provide support or services or assistance to NDIS Participants who the agency manages.
  • Included on the NDIS website.
  • Display the NDIS business badge that is registered with the NDIS.
  • There could be advantageous to prove that your business complies with the strict NDIS requirements for providers, especially when you provide more complex services.
  • Be a preferred supplier for agency participants that can only utilise approved providers.


The reasons you can choose not to register


  • The costs and paperwork that come with the initial audit as well as renewals
  • There is no need to conduct annual audits. However, businesses must conform to the NDIS Code of Conduct. The NDIS Code of Conduct
  • Focus on serving the 20% of participants who have a plan, self-manage or have a mixed plan
  • The market is decreasing. The proportion of buyers choosing to manage their affairs agency is declining - from 43 per cent in June 2019 to 20 percent at the end of June 2021. 


If you're non-an NDIS registered provider and would prefer to remain that way, one of the advantages of your customers using Leap In! as their plan manager is that they can collaborate in conjunction with NDIS registered and non-registered providers.


Tips for becoming an NDIS-approved provider.


Here are some suggestions for those who think registering your company might be beneficial.


  • Give your company time to complete the procedure. There's plenty of paperwork to be completed, so it's best to approach things carefully to be successful the first time.
  • Before starting your research, check out all the background information, including your NDIS Practice Standards and the Suitability assessment guide.
  • You must complete an application within 60 days, or it will be deemed invalid and removed.
  • Employ a specialist firm to handle the process rather than do it yourself. They are in this business every day and know the steps to take.
  • Ensure only to include the services you currently offer and not those you might offer shortly. This can reduce the cost of audits and will also save you time in the meantime.
