Provider registration reform: what a graduated model means for you

Following the NDIS Review and the Provider and Worker Registration Taskforce, registration is moving toward a risk-proportionate model. Here is what participants should expect.

3 June 2026 5 min read

The NDIS Review recommended that all providers be visible to the regulator, with registration obligations scaled to the risk of the supports delivered. The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission is progressively implementing a graduated registration model.

Why registration matters

  • Registered providers are audited against the NDIS Practice Standards and must have complaints, incident and risk management systems in place.
  • Workers must comply with the NDIS Code of Conduct and hold current worker screening.
  • Registered providers can invoice NDIA-managed plans directly.
  • Participants keep choice and control: you can change providers at any time, and we must give you information about how to do that.
