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.
To be registered for a class of supports, the applicant is assessed by an approved quality auditor, by certification or verification as the s 20(3) table specifies, as meeting each applicable standard, plus Module 2A by certification where regulated restrictive practices are or may be used; to remain registered it keeps complying with those standards (s 20(1) and (2)). An individual or partnership whose only certification requirement is early childhood supports is assessed against Core clause 7 and Module 3 (s 20(4) and (5)); Commonwealth, State, Territory and local government providers are certified against the whole Core module for any class (s 22). Certification satisfies a verification requirement (s 23), and auditors apply the quality indicators (s 24).
- Scope of audit document mapping each registered class to its modules and assessment method
- Certification or verification audit reports and certificates from an approved quality auditor
- Corrective action plans and close-out evidence for any nonconformity
- Registered classes added without the matching supplementary module audited
- Module 2A not audited although restrictive practices are in use
- Corrective actions left open past their due date
