Once you have set up access through myID + RAM (or PRODA), the next significant step is completing your application to become a registered NDIS provider. This process involves document preparation, a self-assessment, and in most cases, an independent audit.
Step 1: Prepare Your Documents
Before starting the online form, gather the required documents:
– Proof of identity and ABN
– Company policies and procedures
– Insurances (public liability, workers’ compensation, professional indemnity)
– HR records and staff qualifications
– Risk management and incident management systems
Step 2: Access the NDIS Application Portal
1. Log in using myID + RAM or PRODA.
2. Select ‘Apply to Register’.
3. Complete business details (ABN, structure, services).
Step 3: Select Registration Groups
Choose the registration groups that reflect the supports you plan to deliver (e.g., Core Supports, Specialist Disability Accommodation, Support Coordination).
Step 4: Complete the Self-Assessment
Answer questions about compliance with the NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators. This is where you outline how your policies, processes, and systems meet requirements.
Step 5: Upload Supporting Evidence
Attach the required policies, registers, and certificates. Ensure documents are clear and up-to-date.
Step 6: Undergo Audit (Certification or Verification)
Depending on your services:
– Verification: For lower-risk supports (e.g., cleaning, lawn care, home mods).
– Certification: For higher-risk supports (e.g., SIL, behaviour support).
Step 7: NDIS Commission Review
The NDIS Commission reviews your application and audit outcome. If successful, you’ll be issued a certificate of registration with conditions and registration groups listed.
Conclusion
Registering as an NDIS provider requires careful preparation, accurate self-assessment, and meeting compliance standards. Once approved, you can start delivering supports and services under the NDIS.
