๐ฃ Yesterday at the National Press Club, Minister Mark Butler confirmed the next phase of NDIS reform. Mandatory registration is expanding, and a lot of providers will feel it.
๐ Whatโs Happening
โ๏ธ Mandatory registration for SIL Providers and Platform Providers starts from 1 July 2026. Every SIL provider will need to be registered.
โ๏ธ Mandatory registration is expanding into personal care, daily living supports, and supports delivered in closed settings.
โ๏ธ Practice Standards remain the benchmark. Auditors and NDIA will want proof.
โ๏ธ Enforcement is sharper. Faster sanctions, banning orders, and compliance notices.
โ๏ธ NDIA is channelling more payments toward registered providers.
๐ What This Means for You
โ๏ธ Technically, registration is still a choice for many providers.
โ ๏ธ But if you deliver personal care, daily living supports, SIL, or any support in a closed setting, that choice is narrowing fast.
๐ What To Do Now
โ๏ธ Check which of your services fall under the expanded mandatory registration categories.
โ๏ธ Compare your systems, policies, and records against the Practice Standards to identify gaps.
โ๏ธ Fix those gaps now, before the rush starts.
โ๏ธ Start your NDIS registration process early to avoid delays.
