Insurance for NDIS Sole Traders
NDIS sole traders are service providers who are self-employed.
They may be newly formed businesses or have been delivering services for years. Either way, as an NDIS registered provider, they now face new business risks arising from delivering services within the disability industry. They will be signing new NDIS service agreements and handling the personal information of NDIS participants.
Many service providers may have come from other industries like age care, cleaning and transport and are unsure as to how these new specific risks affect their existing business and what additional risk prevention measures need to be taken.
What insurance is required by registered NDIS Sole Traders?
According to the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, all NDIS registered service providers need:
- Professional Indemnity,
- Public Liability and
- Accident cover
In accordance with the NDIS Practice Standards, all registered NDIS providers will need to provide evidence of current insurance cover when they undergo an NDIS Audit.
These insurances are required to demonstrate to your NDIS clients and stakeholders that your business is covered in the event of an incident and that you will be there even when things go wrong.
Since there is no one size that fits all, let an insurance expert advise you on how to protect yourself against disability-related business risks to ensure all the correct insurances are in place when you get audited.
What insurance is required by Sole Traders who are not NDIS Registered?
If you are a sole trader and not NDIS registered, you still face the same risks that a registered provider does and would need the same insurance cover

What kind of insurance is available to NDIS Sole Traders?
1. Professional Indemnity (Required by NDIS)
When you are at work or out and about and a third party suffers an injury or property damage as a result of your negligence, your insurance cover protects you in the event of a claim.
2. Public Liability (Required by NDIS)
Protect your business against claims resulting from accidents or injuries that occur as a result of your business activities, as well as damage to property owned or controlled by someone else which also occurs as a result of your business activities.
3. Accident Cover (Required by NDIS)
As a sole trader, you are your most important asset! If an accident or serious illness forces you to stop working for an extended period, you would be without an income and also unable to pay your ongoing expenses and overheads.
Personal Accident insurance can provide levels of cover for loss of income if you are unable to work, permanently disabled or even pass away as a result of an unexpected injury or illness (even if it occurs outside of your employment).
Other optional business insurance cover like:
4. Property
If you own a building or any contents including desks, chairs, computers etc.
5. Cyber Risk
If you are collecting and disclosing personal information about NDIS participants, you are at risk.
