Each NDIS participant has a list of desired outcomes and a plan that sets out how those outcomes will be achieved. As an NDIS provider, you will be fundamental to ensuring successful outcomes by delivering the support and service that make them possible. For this, you will be paid from the funding that NDIS provides.
Although an NDIS provider does not have to be registered, NDIS Registration does give many benefits over being unregistered. These include:
- being able to access a much wider range of participants to offer support and services
- the ability to advertise as a registered provider, which gives greater credibility
- having access to various NDIS training tools and resources, and to obtain updates and information about system and process changes
- being part of a competitive marketplace rather than trying to contact participants as an outsider
- sourcing online systems and tools to manage bookings and process payments.
The old support system was fragmented, inefficient and under-funded with little choice for participants, often due to the block funding of particular providers.
The new NDIS system is much fairer since funding goes directly to each participant and is based on their individual needs. Participants can, therefore, put the funding towards the areas of their greatest need, either choosing their own providers or packages of support or appointing an intermediary to do it on their behalf.
Providers must be registered if they:
- deliver services and support to participants who use the NDIA to manage their plans
- provide specialist disability accommodation (SDA), develop behaviour support plans or use restrictive practices.

More About the NDIS Commission
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission has been responsible for registering NDIS service providers in QLD since 1st July 2019. Prior to that, providers were registered with the NDIA and in some instances through HSQF. On 1 July 2019 their registration automatically transferred to the NDIS Commission on the stated date. However, they will need to renew with the NDIS Commission before the expiry date shown on their new registration certificate issued by the Commission in June and July 2019.
Any existing provider that is intending to add new services or support and has a pending application for these with the NDIA must advise the NDIS Commission of the changes, since they are not transferred automatically. New providers, including those that had a pending application with the NDIA, will have to apply directly to the NDIS Commission.
