Around 60,000 unregistered sole-trader support workers will need to register by July 2027. The cheapest pathway: Verification audit + Provider Scale's $999 done-for-you package. Total cost under $4,000. Total time investment: 30 hours over 60 days.
If you serve plan-managed or NDIA-managed participants, mandatory registration applies to you regardless of size. Solo or 200-person, the rule is the same.
