If you're an independent support worker invoicing directly to plan-managed participants, the mandatory registration deadline applies to you. We built a simplified registration pathway specifically for sole traders - same fixed $999, no big-provider bloat, no sole-trader surcharge.
The mandatory registration deadline applies to every person delivering NDIS supports - including independent support workers, sole traders, and allied health professionals working directly with plan-managed participants. Most sole traders assume the rule doesn't apply to them. It does. And audit queues will be tighter for individuals than they are for larger providers.
Start My Registration →They take big-provider templates - assuming teams, multiple locations, layers of management - and sell them to individuals. You end up with 80 pages of policies for a team of one.
Our sole-trader policy pack is built for one person, not thirty. Everything relevant to you, nothing bloated with team-management policies that don't apply.
Most sole traders qualify for the Verification module - the fastest, cheapest registration route. We scope the right pathway on the kick-off call so you don't over-register.
No sole-trader surcharge. No \"individual operator\" premium. You pay exactly the same as a multi-worker provider and get a service built around your reality.
Custom policies sized for a one-person operation. Not a thirty-person template with half the pages deleted.
We complete and submit your full application to the NDIS Commission and handle every clarification request.
NDIS Worker Screening Check, First Aid, and insurance - we tell you what you need and in what order.
Pre-audit walkthrough. Everything an auditor could flag, identified and fixed before it matters.
A consultant on the call with you when the auditor arrives. You're not alone for the big day.
Your consultant is contactable on 1300 543 123 throughout. No ticket queues, no call centres.
"What sold me was that they actually run an NDIS business themselves. The policies they wrote made sense for how I actually work. Passed audit on the first attempt with zero conditions."
"I'd quoted with three other registration consultants. Provider Scale was half the price and the only one offering a real money-back guarantee. Worth every cent."
"Audit day was painless because their consultant was on the call answering questions for me. I literally just nodded along. Got my certificate three days later."
Yes. From 1 July 2027, anyone delivering NDIS supports needs formal registration - including sole traders and independent support workers who currently invoice directly to plan-managed participants. The reform doesn't carve out individuals. If you're billing NDIS, you need to register.
Yes. Nothing changes for your current participants while we build your documentation and submit your application. The transition is seamless. You only stop being unregistered on the day your certificate is issued - and you can keep invoicing the same way throughout.
Most sole traders end up in the Verification module - the lowest-complexity pathway covering personal care, cleaning, transport, and similar lower-risk supports. On the kick-off call we check the supports you deliver and confirm the right module. Occasionally sole traders need Core (for high-intensity supports) - we handle either.
You can register as a sole trader. Many independent support workers do. Pty Ltd has some liability and tax advantages but isn't required for NDIS registration. We won't pressure you to restructure - that's a decision for you and your accountant.
Registration is still required from July 2027 regardless of volume. The same $999 fee applies. If you're genuinely a hobbyist delivering a couple of hours a month, talk to us on the kick-off call - we'll honestly tell you whether registration is worth your time or whether you're better off exiting NDIS work.
Yes. Pay $999 in full, or three monthly instalments of $349. The payment plan adds a small admin fee and starts after your kick-off call.
