NDIS Provider Registration Rules s 13A
NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission
NDIS (Provider Registration and Practice Standards) Rules 2018, Compilation No. 6 (F2026C00527), in force 1 July 2026, with NDIS Act 2013 Part 3A as in Compilation No. 27 (C2026C00401)
6 October 2026, Federal Register: latest version on 6 October 2026
Registered NDIS providers, every profession. Unregistered providers are not bound by these Rules.
The plan management changes made by the latest amending Act start on proclamation and are not in force. The provisions this product cites are in force.
The provider notifies the Commissioner in the approved form of: an event that significantly affects its ability to comply with its conditions; a change that adversely affects access by people with disability to its registered supports; an adverse change in financial capacity; a significant change in organisation or governance; and events bearing on its own or its key personnel's suitability (the matters in ss 9(2)(c) to (h) and 10(2)(b) to (g)). Notice of a governance change arising from a change in ownership of the provider or of its business is due by the earlier of becoming aware it will occur and any step that is a precondition to effecting it (s 13A(3), from 1 July 2026); other notices by the earlier of awareness and occurrence.
- Notification records for governance, financial and suitability events
- Transaction timetable for any sale or restructure showing the Commission notice before the first precondition step
- Board papers identifying events requiring notice
- Commission told of a sale only after completion
- Key personnel charges or insolvency events not notified
