Being audit-ready is more than having policies saved in a folder.

NDIS quality audits assess providers against the Practice Standards relevant to their registration.
Depending on the applicable audit, providers may need to demonstrate that their documentation, systems and day-to-day practices align with the relevant requirements.

Don’t leave preparation until audit week. Review your requirements, organise your evidence and make sure your documented processes reflect what happens in practice.

Not every provider is required to register, but registration is mandatory for certain supports and circumstances. Registered providers go through the NDIS Commission's registration process, including an audit against the applicable NDIS Practice Standards and a suitability assessment. Understanding what applies to your services is an important part of operating within the NDIS market.

NDIS providers, a new NDIS Commission portal is launching on 12 October 2026. During the transition, providers may need to use both the new and existing portals depending on the activity and when the work began. Importantly, the portal transition does not change provider obligations or the NDIS Practice Standards. Staying informed now can help your team know where to complete new and existing work.

Participant records are more than an admin requirement. They contain personal information that needs to be accurate, current, confidential, and appropriately managed.

Under the NDIS Practice Standards, registered providers covered by the Core Module should obtain participant consent when collecting, using, retaining or disclosing their information, and participants should understand how their information is stored and how they can access or correct it.

It’s worth checking whether your processes are clear not only to management, but also to the workers handling participant information every day.

At LOFA Consulting, we support providers in building practical compliance systems that work beyond the policy document.

For providers supporting participants with medication, good practice involves more than simply having a medication chart available.

Under the NDIS Practice Standards, medication records should clearly identify the participant, medication and required dosage. Workers responsible for administering medication should understand relevant effects and side effects, what to do if something goes wrong, and medication should be stored securely and accessed by appropriately trained workers.

If different workers support the same participant, consistency becomes even more important.

At LOFA Consulting, we help providers look at whether their policies, worker training and everyday processes are actually aligned.

The NDIS Practice Standards expect quality management systems to support continuous improvement.

For providers covered by the Core Module, that includes maintaining an internal audit program and using information such as participant feedback, worker feedback, risk data and service outcomes to improve support delivery.

That means an issue, complaint or piece of feedback shouldn’t simply be recorded and forgotten.

The more useful question is:

“What are we changing because of what we learned?”

At LOFA Consulting, we support providers in moving from compliance on paper to systems that continue to improve over time.

Providers should be able to recognise situations where their own interests could influence or appear to influence the choices available to a participant.

The NDIS Practice Standards require actual and perceived conflicts of interest to be proactively managed and documented.

That matters because participants should be able to make informed choices without feeling pressured toward a provider’s preferred service, worker or arrangement.

Sometimes the most useful question is simply:

“Are we giving the participant a genuine choice here?”

At LOFA Consulting, we help providers understand where governance responsibilities show up in real operational decisions.

For registered providers covered by the relevant NDIS Practice Standards, service agreements should clearly explain the supports being delivered, expectations, and any conditions attached to those supports.

Importantly, participants should be supported to understand the agreement using language and a form of communication that works for them.

That makes service agreements more than paperwork. They’re an opportunity to make sure the provider and participant are genuinely on the same page before supports begin.

A useful question for providers is:

“Could this participant clearly explain what they’re receiving from us?”

At LOFA Consulting, we help providers review systems from both a compliance and practical service-delivery perspective.

The 2026–27 NDIS Pricing Schedule has been in effect since 1 July 2026, giving providers updated guidance on appropriate prices for NDIS supports.

But an updated price schedule doesn’t mean providers can simply change existing participant charges automatically.

If you’re proposing a pricing change under an existing service agreement, it needs to be discussed with the participant and agreed to before the change is made.

For providers, this is a good time to review pricing, service agreements, and the way changes are communicated to participants.

At LOFA Consulting, we help NDIS providers understand regulatory and operational changes and what they mean for day-to-day service delivery.
