Why this matters now

2026 changed the rules for thousands of providers.

Three regulatory shifts landed at once. Each one creates paperwork you must get right — and a hard cost if you don't.

Since 1 July 2026

Registration is now mandatory

All Supported Independent Living and platform providers must be registered with the NDIS Commission. Existing providers who apply by 1 October 2026 can keep operating while their application is assessed. Delivering SIL unregistered is now a criminal offence.

Since February 2026

Screening checks are expiring

NDIS Worker Screening Checks last five years — and the first wave issued in 2021 is now expiring. A worker with a lapsed check must be removed from risk-assessed roles immediately. One missed renewal can surface as an audit non-conformity.

Ongoing through 2026

Auditor capacity is squeezed

The pool of approved quality auditors is finite, one major auditor exited the market in April 2026, and demand has spiked around the deadline. Providers who arrive audit-ready get through faster and avoid rescheduling fees.

Services & fixed fees

Three ways in, priced so you know exactly what you're paying.

No hourly billing, no open-ended retainers. Every engagement ends with a document you can act on.

How it works

From first call to audit-ready, in four steps.

Everything is remote-first and works around your roster. Most providers never need us on site.

Scope

A free 20-minute call. We confirm your registration groups, audit pathway (verification or certification) and deadline, and quote a fixed fee.

Review

You share your documents through a secure upload link. We assess them against the Practice Standards areas your auditor will test.

Close the gaps

You get a prioritised gap report. On the full package, we work alongside you until every item on the register reads "ready".

Audit with confidence

We help you choose an approved quality auditor, compare quotes, and prep your key personnel for interview questions.

STRAIGHT ANSWER

We are not an approved quality auditor, and we don't conduct NDIS audits. Only auditors approved by the NDIS Commission can do that — and auditors are prohibited from writing your policies for you, which is exactly the gap we fill. We prepare you for the audit: your documents, your evidence, your people. Preparation and assessment stay independent, which is how the Commission intends it to work.

Common questions

Asked by nearly every provider we talk to.

Do I really have to register?
If you deliver Supported Independent Living or operate a platform connecting participants with supports: yes, as of 1 July 2026 registration is mandatory. If you applied by 1 October 2026 you can keep operating while assessed. Other support types (personal care, daily activities) are expected to follow from July 2027, so preparing early is cheaper than preparing under deadline pressure. If you're unsure which group you fall into, that's the first thing we confirm on the scoping call.
What's the difference between verification and certification?
Verification is a lighter, document-based review for lower-risk supports — typically $900–$3,000 in auditor fees. Certification applies to higher-risk supports like SIL and behaviour support; it involves site visits and interviews and typically costs $3,000–$15,000 depending on your size. If even one of your registration groups requires certification, your whole registration goes down that pathway.
Can't I just buy a template policy pack?
You can — and the NDIS Commission has warned that generic, off-the-shelf policies are a leading cause of audit failures. Auditors check that your policies match how you actually operate and that your staff know them. Our packages tailor everything to your real service model, and we prep your people, not just your paperwork.
How fast can you get me audit-ready?
The health check takes five business days. A full readiness package typically takes three to five weeks depending on how much evidence already exists. The audit itself, and the Commission's decision after it, run on their own timelines — which is exactly why booking your auditor early matters, and why we help you do it in week one.
Do you work outside SIL and disability?
Yes. The same readiness discipline applies to aged care providers preparing for Aged Care Quality Standards reviews, and to unregistered providers who want to be ready before mandatory registration expands in 2027. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so on the scoping call and point you somewhere better.
