Depending on the supports and services you plan to offer, you will be required to participate in either a Verification or Certification audit when registering to offer services under the NDIS. The types of supports and services that the NDIS provider offers to its members are used to classify the NDIS Registration Groups.
While NDIS providers supplying more complicated or higher risk supports and services must undergo a Certification audit, those delivering lower risk/lower complexity supports and services will only need to go through a Verification audit.
NDIS Registration Group
The phrase “registration group” describes the kind of assistance being offered. There are 36 distinct registration groups available right now.
You will be asked which registration groups you want to register for while completing the NDIS application.
Prior to beginning your application, become familiar with the registration groups. For a complete analysis of the assistance and services you may be offering, consult the NDIA price guide or the list of registration groups in Appendix A of this handbook.
The Registration Requirements by Therapeutic Supports and Services document on the NDIS Commission website has more details about registration groups.
Depending on which registration groups you select, you will be audited against certain NDIS Practise Standard modules.
NDIS Providers
Registered NDIS providers may apply to change their approved registration in order to:
Add or remove registration groups or service providers; alter a registration requirement; or change the duration of registration.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 permits the NDIS Commissioner to modify a registered NDIS provider’s registration if the Commissioner determines that doing so is appropriate in all circumstances. The Commissioner considers several criteria when evaluating whether to grant a request to alter registration.
The Commissioner takes into account the suitability of the registered NDIS provider to offer the requested additional supports and services as well as whether an authorised quality auditor has evaluated the registered NDIS provider as meeting the relevant NDIS practice standards.

NDIS Modules and NDIS Registration Groups
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) classifies the numerous supports, services, and goods that are financed by the programme and offered by NDIS Registered Providers using a system of registration groups. To make it simpler for persons with disabilities, their families, and carers to understand what resources are available and how to obtain them, registration groups and innovative community participation have been created.
There are 36 registration groups you can offer as an NDIS Registered Provider, depending on your training and expertise.

How do you select an Approved Quality Auditor?
If a provider complies with the NDIS Practise Standards, it can only be determined by auditing companies that the NDIS Commission has approved. These businesses are referred to as Approved Quality Auditors.
The NDIS Commission website has a list of Approved Quality Auditors.
If you can, it might be a good idea to speak with someone who has had an audit and provides a service comparable to yours. They can then share their impressions of the audit pathway and the auditor they choose with you.

Audit Report
In accordance with s73E of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (NDIS Act), one element of evidence needed to support the NDIS Commissioner’s determination of whether to approve a request to register as a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider is an audit report created by an approved quality auditor (AQA).
Delivering a report with auditor recommendations helps the NDIS Commissioner make an informed decision regarding the outcome of a registration application and the internal audit.
Operational Management
Core capabilities assessed under this process include:
- How the provider manages risk
- The provision of supports
- The environment in which supports are provided
- Governance and operational management.
Providers applying for complex supports must complete the NDIS Practice Standard’s core module.
How much does registration cost?
It costs nothing to submit a registration application. The certification audit against the NDIS Practise Standards, however, will be at your expense. In order to comply with the applicable Practise Standards, it may also be costly to design and maintain a system of rules and processes.
The size, scope, and complexity of the services you offer will determine what needs to be done for the audit and how much it will cost. Various pricing and quoting procedures are used by auditing organisations.
To find the best fit and price for your service-for-one, thoroughly compare quotations.
