Do you have the staff, skills or qualifications to deliver that NDIS service?
Registration Groups
The NDIS Price Guide describes items that can be funded through a participant’s plan.
To ensure that providers do not need to register to provide individual support items, the support items have been grouped into ‘Registration Groups’ where the Quality and Safeguards requirements to provide the supports are similar.
Specific NDIS Quality and Safeguards requirements are set out for each of these registration groups.
Providers need to consider which registration groups are relevant to them and ensure they understand and comply with the quality and safeguarding requirements for the registration group and for each jurisdiction in which they intend to register.
Certain supports are required to be provided by people with specific qualifications and experience; these supports are priced accordingly and include expectations about outcomes. For example, it is expected that Physiotherapy is provided by an AHPRA registered Physiotherapist. Some states and territories will also require professionals to meet other additional requirements for some registration groups.
Providers wishing to register for the NDIS Registration Groups must:
- Be registered, approved and compliant with the requirements for registration or approval as a Specialist Disability Service, Community Care or Home and Community Care provider as determined by each jurisdiction in which the provider is delivering supports.
- Submit evidence of this registration, approval and compliance issued by the jurisdiction, or authorised third-party verification body (as determined by each jurisdiction), for which they have applied to deliver supports. This evidence document must state the services that the provider is currently providing, or is authorised to provide under the NDIS.
- Ensure that they possess and are able to demonstrate sufficient experience working with people with disability to deliver more specialist registration groups.
