How much does NDIS registration cost?

The full answer

NDIS registration cost has three components. First, the audit fee — paid to an Approved Quality Auditor. Verification audits (low-risk service types) cost $1,500 to $3,000 in 2026. Certification audits (higher-risk like SIL, behaviour support, day programmes) cost $4,000 to $12,000+ depending on size and travel. Second, consultancy or DIY documentation cost. Third, ongoing compliance time. Provider Scale's $999 done-for-you package includes policy templates, audit prep and audit-day support — you pay only the auditor fee on top. DIY costs your time but $0 in cash beyond the audit. Full consultancy from competitors costs $5,000 to $30,000.
