New from 1 July 2026 registration with the NDIS commission is becoming required for Supported Independent Living and Platform Providers. You must meet governance and risk requirements to register.
From just $29/month
From 1 July 2026, all Supported Independent Living providers and Platform Providers must be registered with the NDIS Commission to continue delivering services. If you’re currently unregistered, this will no longer be optional.
Registration isn't just paperwork. It includes:
The Commission expects evidence — not policies sitting on a shelf.
Registration typically takes 3–12 months. Commission guidance is still evolving, audit capacity will tighten as the deadline approaches, and providers who delay will face:
Providers who start now will be ready. Providers who wait will scramble.
In today's world, strong risk management isn't optional for any business — it's a core part of running professionally and sustainably. Every organisation has a wide range of risks to identify, control, and review on an ongoing basis, whether they're operational, safety, financial, legal, reputational, HR, IT/cyber, or privacy-related.
As an NDIS service provider, having a robust, auditable risk and compliance system is essential. StartRisk has given us a clear, scalable way to manage our risk register, assign owners, track actions, and stay on top of review dates with automated reminders, backed by a strong evidence trail and reporting that makes compliance easier to demonstrate. It also made it straightforward to set up risk management in line with the NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators.
StartRisk was critical to our Registered NDIS Provider approval and keeps us audit-ready. The platform is simple to use but sophisticated in capability, with an impressive use of AI that makes managing risks and controls more efficient.
It's not just the software: the StartRisk team has been there with us throughout the journey, providing hands-on support and guidance to get it set up properly and keep improving over time.
A spreadsheet updated twice a year isn't governance. It's a liability. When auditors, the Commission, or your board ask what risks you're managing and how — you need a clear, defensible answer. Not a tab someone forgot to update.
StartRisk replaces that with a structured, AI-assisted risk register that identifies risks your team would miss, assigns clear ownership, and generates board-ready reporting in one click.
Drop in your context — services, size, sector. StartRisk's AI surfaces the risks specific to your NDIS operations, instantly and objectively.
Every risk, control, rating and assumption laid bare. Edit, challenge, refine. Assign clear ownership so everyone knows what they're responsible for.
One click to board-ready commentary. Walk into audits, Commission reviews, and board meetings armed with clarity, not guesswork.
No formal risk register. Governance requirements unclear. Board can't see what risks exist or who owns them. Audit preparation is stressful, manual, and incomplete.
Structured risk register aligned to NDIS Practice Standards. AI-identified risks specific to SIL and platform operations. Clear ownership. Board-ready reporting. Audit ready.
NDIS providers using StartRisk have gone from no formal risk management to audit-ready governance in days, not months — without hiring consultants or learning ISO standards.
“It's very user-friendly”
“This is revolutionary for us”
Yes. The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requires providers to demonstrate governance and risk management as part of registration. This includes identifying risks, assigning controls, and being able to show evidence during audits.
If you deliver SIL or platform-based services, registeration becomes mandatory from 1 July 2026. StartRisk helps you meet your risk management requirements for registration fast.
Most organisations go from nothing to a working risk framework in under an hour. StartRisk's AI does the heavy lifting — identifying risks, suggesting controls, and structuring everything for board-level reporting.
StartRisk works with many NDIS providers and understands your needs. We can help you get up and running quickly so you can focus on delivering great services to your clients.
No. StartRisk is ISO-aligned and audit ready. You don't need to learn the standard. The platform guides you through it in plain language.
StartRisk replaces your spreadsheet with a structured system that adds AI-powered risk identification, ownership tracking, and one-click board reporting. Most teams find risks they didn't know they had within the first session.
