Why consider NDIS registration for your business?
Explore the opportunity for your trade or profession, then check whether registration fits the support you intend to deliver. Find a dedicated guide for every service category currently covered by our site.
Opportunity and obligation are different questions
Direct delivery of NDIA-managed supports requires registration. Eligible self-managed or plan-managed work may allow an unregistered pathway, but some supports have mandatory registration rules regardless of funding management. Check the actual service and any transition arrangements.
