Around 60,000+ unregistered providers face mandatory registration by July 2027. The audit pipeline is filling now. Lodge by mid-2026 and the timeline is comfortable. Wait until late 2026 and you're fighting for auditor capacity. Here's the playbook.
True today. Untrue from July 2027. NDIA-managed participants already exclude you. Plan-managed and self-managed will follow for most service types. Revenue cliff approaching.
By late 2026, the audit pipeline will be 6-9 months long. Auditor pricing will be 15-25% higher. Timeline mistakes get expensive.
Wrong. With proper transition, 80%+ of participants stay. Plan-managed participants barely notice. The narrative matters - communicate it early.
Compliance overhead adds 5-8% to operating cost. New revenue access (NDIA-managed market = 10% of plans) typically offsets this within 12 months.
First call: we help you decide. Some providers genuinely should exit NDIS work and pivot to private market. We tell you the truth, not what you want to hear.
We map your current operations against the Practice Standards. Identify what you already do well, what needs work. Most providers find 8-12 fixable gaps.
Pre-built communication for participants and families explaining why you're registering and what changes (mostly nothing). Manages the relationship risk.
Policy pack delivery, self-assessment, mock audit, application submission. Compressed timeline because we've done it 100+ times.
We're with you on audit day. If non-conformities arise, we close them within the 90-day window. End-to-end execution.
By mid-2026, every audit body in Australia will be booked through Q1 2027. Apply now and you have your pick of auditors at 2026 pricing. Wait six months and you'll pay more for fewer choices and longer wait.
