NDIS Nursing Provider Registration

Want to register as an NDIS nursing provider?

If you are a Registered Nurse looking to grow in the NDIS space, we can help you apply for the right registration pathway with clarity, confidence, and expert support.

Depending on your qualifications, scope of practice, and service model, your registration options may include:

  • 0114 Community Nursing Care in the verification stream.
  • 0104 High Intensity Daily Personal Activities in the certification stream, linked to Supplementary Module 1.
  • For some mental health nurses, 0110 Positive Behaviour Support in the certification stream, linked to Supplementary Module 2.
  • For some mental health nurses, 0132 Specialised Support Coordination in the certification stream, linked to Supplementary Module 4.

This is not just about submitting an application. It is about choosing the right registration groups, understanding the right audit pathway, preparing the right documentation, and building business systems that match the supports you actually want to deliver.

That is where we come in.

We help nursing businesses prepare tailored policies, supporting documents, and audit readiness strategies designed around the way they actually operate.

    Nurses are well placed to deliver valuable NDIS supports, but registration needs to be handled properly

    Nurses bring a strong combination of clinical judgement, documentation discipline, risk awareness, and participant-centred care into the NDIS.

    For some providers, that means delivering community-based nursing services through a verification pathway. For others, it means building a more complex service model involving high intensity supports, behaviour support, or specialist coordination, each with higher compliance expectations and certification-level requirements.

    For nursing businesses, the challenge is not usually clinical capability. The challenge is understanding:

    • Which registration groups actually fit the intended service model.
    • Which supplementary modules apply.
    • What the audit pathway will look like.
    • What policies, procedures, and evidence need to be in place.
    • How to build a provider business that will stand up to external review.

    We help make that process easier.

    We help a wide range of nursing providers

    This page is for:

    • Registered Nurses building an NDIS-focused nursing service.
    • Community nursing providers seeking registered provider status.
    • Nursing agencies expanding into NDIS supports.
    • Nurses planning to deliver high intensity supports.
    • Mental health nurses exploring behaviour support registration.
    • Mental health nurses exploring specialised support coordination registration.
    • Multidisciplinary providers adding nursing services to an existing model.

       

    Not every nurse should apply for every registration group. Not every nursing business needs the certification stream. And not every mental health nurse should automatically pursue Supplementary Module 2 or Supplementary Module 4.

    We help you choose the pathway that actually fits your:

    • Qualifications.
    • Scope of practice.
    • Service model.
    • Commercial goals.
    Registration Pathways

    Which registration groups may apply to nurses? Depending on your services, your nursing business may be suited to one or more of the following registration groups:

    Registration Group

    0114 Community Nursing Care

    This is a verification-stream registration group and is commonly relevant for nursing providers delivering community nursing services within the NDIS.

    Registration Group

    0104 High Intensity Daily Personal Activities

    This sits in the certification stream and links to Supplementary Module 1. It is relevant where your business is delivering high intensity supports that require stronger systems, training, oversight, and audit preparation.

    Registration Group

    0110 Positive Behaviour Support

    This sits in the certification stream and links to Supplementary Module 2. For some mental health nurses, this may be relevant where the nurse is writing behaviour support plans for participants who require the mental health skills and clinical understanding of a mental health nurse, including participants whose behaviour support planning may involve restrictive practices.

    Registration Group

    0132 Specialised Support Coordination

    This sits in the certification stream and links to Supplementary Module 4. For some mental health nurses, this may be relevant where the nurse is providing specialised support coordination for participants who require the mental health skills and clinical understanding of a mental health nurse acting as their support coordinator.

    The right fit depends on your real service offering, not just what sounds appealing on paper.

    We help you map that properly before you invest time and money into the wrong pathway.

    Community Nursing Care

    0114 Community Nursing Care can be the right starting point for many nursing providers

    For many Registered Nurses entering the NDIS space, 0114 Community Nursing Care is the most natural first registration group. Because it sits in the verification stream, the audit pathway is generally more straightforward than certification. Even so, your business still needs strong documentation and properly structured systems. That usually includes:
    • Governance and operational processes.
    • Worker screening and suitability systems.
    • Incident management processes.
    • Complaints management systems.
    • Risk management practices.
    • Clear clinical and service delivery documentation.
    If your nursing business is focused on community nursing and does not need high intensity or supplementary module registration, this can often be the clearest and most efficient starting point. We help you prepare the right documentation so your business is structured for verification from the outset.
    High Intensity

    0104 High Intensity Daily Personal Activities requires a stronger certification pathway

    If your nursing business intends to support participants with more complex health-related needs, 0104 High Intensity Daily Personal Activities may be the more appropriate registration group. This sits in the certification stream and links to Supplementary Module 1. That means the registration process is more demanding. Your business needs to demonstrate stronger systems around:
    ✓ Governance
    ✓ Worker Training & Competency
    ✓ Clinical Oversight
    ✓ Supervision
    ✓ Risk Management
    ✓ Incident Response
    ✓ Evidence of Safe & Appropriate High Intensity Supports
    This is not an area where generic documentation is enough. Your policies, procedures, delegation framework, incident management approach, worker training records, and clinical oversight systems all need to stand up to a certification-level audit. We help you build that properly.
    Mental Health Nurses

    For mental health nurses, the right pathway may go beyond nursing alone

    Mental health nurses often work in ways that overlap with broader psychosocial, behavioural, and coordination-based supports. Depending on your qualifications, experience, and intended service model, your business may also explore:
    • 0110 Positive Behaviour Support in the certification stream, linked to Supplementary Module 2.
    • 0132 Specialised Support Coordination in the certification stream, linked to Supplementary Module 4.
    0110 Registration Group

    Positive Behaviour Support

    May suit mental health nurses writing behaviour support plans for participants who require the mental health skills and clinical understanding of a mental health nurse.

    Complex psychosocial presentations Mental health-related behavioural concerns Clinical formulation & risk understanding Restrictive practices
    0132 Registration Group

    Specialised Support Coordination

    May suit mental health nurses acting as specialist support coordinators for participants who require the mental health skills and clinical understanding of a mental health nurse in that coordination role.

    Psychosocial complexity Multiple service systems Crisis risk Service fragmentation Complex mental health support environments
    These are not registration groups to add casually. They need to match what your business can genuinely deliver. We help you assess that early so your registration strategy is:
    • Credible.
    • Commercially sensible.
    • Aligned with your actual expertise.
    Why Registration Matters

    Registered status can strengthen your nursing business

    For many nursing providers, registration is about more than compliance. It can help:

    Strengthen trust with referrers Support access to the right participant cohorts Position your business more strongly in the NDIS market Built around recognised standards Growth into specialised service areas

    For high intensity services and certification-stream mental health pathways, registration can also be essential to the supports you want to deliver.

    If you are serious about building an NDIS-facing nursing business, registration can be a powerful step. We help you do it properly.
