Do I need an ABN to be an NDIS provider?

The full answer

An Australian Business Number (ABN) is required to invoice for NDIS supports. Sole-trader support workers need their own ABN. Companies use the company ABN. Working under a labour-hire arrangement (e.g. for an agency) uses the host provider's ABN. Apply free at abr.business.gov.au — issued instantly for most applicants. ABN registration is independent of NDIS registration; you need both for registered work.
