Frequently asked NDIS questions

What are the NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators?

The NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators are benchmarks for service providers to assess their performance and demonstrate how they will provide safe, high-quality support to participants.

The NDIS Capability Framework Objectives shows how service providers and support workers are to act when supporting people with disability.

etrainu has mapped our current list of assets to the NDIS Practice Standards and Capability Framework.

How do I become an NDIS Provider?

Following the results from the 2023 NDIS Review, all disability service providers will now be required to register with the NDIS. This comes as a move to continue to provide quality and safe supports to people with disability and crack down on unregistered providers.

How much does an NDIS audit cost?

In disability services, an NDIS audit is when an approved auditor examines your services to see if they comply with the current NDIS Practice Standards and are up-to-date. There are two types of NDIS audits: verification and certification. Currently, providers cover the costs of these audits—neither the NDIS nor the NDIS Commission offer any rebates. The true cost of the audits will vary depending on the type, but providers can expect to pay anywhere between $1,500 to $3,000. Specialist service providers may have to pay more.
