Act s 73B and Rules s 7A person must not provide a support under a participant's plan where the NDIS rules require registration for it and the person is not registered (s 73B(2)), nor hold themselves out as able to provide such a support (s 73B(3)). Rules s 7 requires registration for: specialist disability accommodation (s 7(1)); any class of supports where there is, or is likely to be, an interim or ongoing need to use a regulated restrictive practice (s 7(2)); specialist behaviour support that includes a behaviour support assessment or developing a behaviour support plan (s 7(3)); assistance with supported independent living (s 7(4) and (5)); and NDIS digital platform services (s 7(6)). Separately, supports to a participant whose funding is managed by the Agency may be provided only by a registered provider (Act ss 32D(7) and 33(6)). Contravention is a fault-based offence (up to 2 years' imprisonment or 120 penalty units), a strict liability offence and a civil penalty (up to 10,000 penalty units for a serious contravention by an NDIS provider).
