STEP 1 • FREE NDIS BUSINESS PATHWAY

Start with your service idea

You do not need to know registration groups yet. Tell the tool what you want the business to do and check whether your answers point toward a current mandatory-registration trigger.

Privacy first

Do not enter names, health records, identity documents, screening numbers or financial credentials.

Use your own words

Describe the service as you understand it. The tool should translate the system, not test your jargon.

Decision support only

The Commission and legislation remain authoritative. This tool never claims regulator approval.

A small team planning a new business around a table.
Start with the real service model. Registration logic comes after you understand what the business will actually do.
♿ Use the tool in the way that works for you

You can stop at any time. You can use writing instead of speech. You do not need to disclose a diagnosis or personal disability information.

1. How would you like to use this tool?
2. What do you want your business to do?

Focus on what you will actually deliver, who it is for and how you will deliver it.

3. Check current mandatory-registration triggers

Choose Yes, No or I’m not sure. Uncertainty is a valid answer.

Will you provide NDIS supports or services to participants whose relevant funding is NDIA-managed?

Will your business provide plan management services?

Will you provide specialist disability accommodation (SDA)?

Will you provide specialist behaviour support services?

Will you use, or plan to use, regulated restrictive practices?

Will you provide supported independent living (SIL), or something you think might be SIL?

Will you operate an NDIS digital platform service, or a platform that may connect participants with support providers and handle NDIS-plan payments?
