Hi all!
Just wanted to share this really useful resource and information.
I met with Belinda Everett at the ETC My Small Business Expo and discovered she is offering some quality gold nuggets for anyone in the NDIS Industry that is not prepared for NDIS Registration.

More information can be found: https://assistindustries.com.au/about-us/

Independent support workers and small NDIS providers: do you know what needs to sit behind the support you deliver?

Policies, records, complaints processes, risk management and registration requirements can feel overwhelming when you’re running a small service.

Assistance Industry Resourcing (AIR) has created six short online courses to help you understand these responsibilities and start getting your systems organised.

The series walks through:

✅ Requirements relevant to your service.
✅ NDIS Practice Standards and the Code of Conduct.
✅ Evidence and record keeping.
✅ Managing risks.
✅ Handling complaints.
✅ Applying for NDIS provider registration.

Hundreds of templates and other resources are included, giving you practical starting points to adapt to your service.

The training supports preparation for registration; completing the courses does not itself make your business registered.

Access the courses through the Community Resource Pool website. Government-funded FREE access is available until 30 October 2026, so allow yourself time to learn and use the resources.

Know an independent support worker who could use this? Please pass it on.

We work with providers across the assistance sectors, including disability, mental health support, aged care, allied health and youth.

Prepare your business for an emergency 🚨

Natural disasters and other emergencies can happen with little warning. Having an emergency management plan can help protect your people, reduce disruption and support your business recovery.

A good plan should cover:
✅ How you'll identify and manage risks to critical parts of your business.
✅ What you and your staff will do during an emergency.
✅ How you'll recover and get back up and running afterwards.

If your business is affected by a disaster or emergency, you may also be able to access support to help your business recover.

We’re running a new advertising campaign to promote the importance of using a registered BAS agent. Unregistered preparers don’t have the required qualifications to advise clients on their obligations, and if they lodge statements to the Australian Taxation Office on behalf of a business, they are doing so illegally. Accurate financial reporting is vital for businesses and this campaign links through to our online register to allow businesses to check their BAS agent is registered with us.
