Our difference

Policies refined across 3,000+ registrations

NDIS documentation fully tailored to your business — with unlimited edits offered until it reflects how you actually operate.

Our NDIS consultants are thought leaders in the disability sector — every application is prepared by an Application Manager with an Australian law degree and receives senior internal review.

100% money back guarantee

On an initial application for NDIS registration, if you do not pass the audit we refund our fees* — our fee sits behind your outcome. Conditions apply.

Marketing and client acquisition

Start supporting participants and expand your business immediately. Our business consultants help you implement marketing, operations and growth from day one.

Save on your registration

We appropriately scope your registration groups so you do not pay for more than you need. Registering for groups you never deliver costs you at the application and again at every audit that follows.

Support across Australia

We work with providers Australia-wide, in every capital city and regional area. No business is too out of reach for us.

We deal with the Commission — before and after audit

We draft your application responses, and if the Commission requests further information after your audit, we write the response and update your documentation, guiding you through to registration.

The Implementation Kit

Worker Training Guides, Easy Read participant brochures and a Provider Compliance Guide with ready-to-use posters: so your team can actually apply the policies.

What NDIS auditors actually look for — and how we prepare you

We build documentation and systems tailored to the supports and services you plan to deliver, the participant types you will support, where you operate, and how you will run your business day-to-day.

Auditors don’t just check that you “meet the Practice Standards.” They look for evidence your policies can be applied in practice. Their scrutiny increases with provider size and risk. Our judgement is where applications succeed or get delayed.

How we get you registered

One dedicated NDIS registration consultant — your Application Manager — from your first call to your registration. You are not handed between various NDIS consultants or departments — the same person writes your documentation, drafts your application and prepares you for audit. They're your first call if you have any questions.

Stage 1

Evaluate

We learn your service model, confirm your registration groups, and build documentation tailored to how you will actually deliver supports.

Stage 2

Lodge

Once you have reviewed and approved your documentation, we enter your responses into the Commission portal and submit on your behalf.

Stage 3

Pass your audit

We close remaining gaps, coach you on what auditors sample, and stay on call ready to respond on audit day.

Stage 4

Registered and growing

You receive your NDIS provider registration, then our VIP Business Coaching helps you build a provider business that is commercially viable, not just approved on paper.

Get a free consultation

Join the 3,000+ providers we have helped gain government accreditations. We will confirm your registration groups, your audit exposure and what your application needs.

Frequently asked questions about NDIS provider registration and Support at Home provider registration

The questions we are asked most in relation to NDIS and Support at Home provider registration. Last reviewed August 2026 by Avaana’s NDIS registration team. Government fees, timeframes and registration requirements change — confirm current figures with the NDIS Commission, or ask us.

How long does it take to get registered?

+

Documentation takes two days on our fast track, or three to four weeks on the regular timeline. The Commission then typically takes three to nine months from the date your auditor completes the audit. Full timeline →

How much does it cost to become a registered NDIS provider?

+

There is no application fee payable to the Commission. Typical costs are entity setup $0–$1,500, consultant fees $800–$10,000 across the sector and audit fees $1,250–$10,000, depending on your services and whether you already deliver supports. Most new providers spend $2,050 to $21,500 in total. Full cost breakdown →

How can I save 60% off registration costs?

+

Register only for the groups you will actually deliver. Most overspending comes from over-scoping, or from redoing documentation after an audit finding — we confirm your scope during a free consultation before you commit to anything.

Who can become an NDIS provider in Australia?

+

Any Australian business with an ABN that meets the eligibility requirements. Key personnel and workers must be appropriately qualified or experienced for the supports you deliver. Check your eligibility →

Can unregistered or sole trader providers work with Avaana?

+

Yes. Any business can work with Avaana to become NDIS registered, including sole traders with an active ABN.

What Aged Care Provider Registration options do you assist with?

+

Avaana assists with aged care provider registration for Support at Home, registration categories 1-5. More on Support at Home registration →

What checks and compliance requirements apply?

+

Each key management person and worker must maintain 100 points of ID and pass an NDIS Worker Screening Check; some roles also need a Working with Children Check. Businesses and key personnel must make a series of suitability declarations. Full requirements →

What is an NDIS worker screening check?

+

A state or territory screening unit assesses, on the Commission’s behalf, whether a worker poses a risk to a person with disability. Required for workers in risk-assessed or key personnel roles at a registered provider.

How do I log in to the NDIS provider portals?

+

PRODA is being replaced by myID and Relationship Authorisation Manager. New providers must set up myID and RAM; existing providers need to authorise each new staff member in RAM.

How does NDIS funding work from a provider’s perspective?

+

It depends on how the participant’s plan is managed. Self-managed participants pay you directly, plan-managed participants’ invoices go to their plan manager, and NDIA-managed participants require a payment request through the myplace provider portal — which only registered providers can do. More on funding →

Will NDIS registration become mandatory?

+

Mandatory registration commenced 1 July 2026 for supported independent living (SIL) and NDIS digital platform providers — existing unregistered SIL providers must lodge an application by 1 October 2026 to keep operating. Mandatory registration for support coordination was announced but is currently paused, and is expected to expand to all high-risk supports from 1 July 2027 (NDIS Commission). SIL registration →
