You're an independent support worker delivering direct to plan-managed participants. July 2027 changes that, you need to be registered. Same $999 as a business, simplified policy pack built for individuals, audit-passed in 8 weeks.
Sole trader · Audit-passed
You operate under your own ABN as a sole trader. You deliver direct to participants (not via a provider). You're currently plan-managed or self-managed only.
The NDIS Commission has a streamlined verification pathway for sole-trader workers. Smaller policy pack. Lighter audit. We charge the same $999, but the work is right-sized for you.
15–20 policies, not 50+. Customised for sole-trader operation. Right-sized for the verification audit, not the certification audit.
Sole-trader verification audits are typically 1–2 hours (vs full-day certification audits). Auditor fees are lower ($1,000–$1,800 vs $2,000–$4,000).
Even as a sole trader, you get the full 30+ tool system, invoicing, intake, scheduling, compliance log. Free forever, same as everyone else.
"I'm an independent support worker in regional NSW. I'd been delivering plan-managed for 4 years. July 2027 forced my hand. Sole-trader pathway from Provider Scale, they made it painless. The mock audit caught two gaps I'd never have spotted on my own. Passed first time. Now I can take NDIA-managed participants and Carepilot handles all my admin for free."
