The steps

  1. Decide your registration scope and audit type required
  2. Build your policy pack against the relevant Practice Standards modules
  3. Lodge your application via the NDIS Commission Provider Portal
  4. Complete the self-assessment honestly
  5. Engage an Approved Quality Auditor and submit evidence
  6. Pass the audit (Verification or Certification) and close any non-conformities

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Picking too broad a scope at first registration
  • Treating self-assessment as a marketing exercise
  • Choosing the cheapest auditor without checking specialisation
