The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the new way of delivering support services to people with disability. The NDIS gives people with disabilities more choice and control over the services they receive.
To become an NDIS service provider, you need to meet certain requirements. In this blog post by Avocadocare, a leading registered NDIS disability services provider in Australia, we will walk you through the process of becoming one.
Step by Step Application Process
1. Check if You’re Eligible
To become an NDIS service provider, you first need to check if you’re eligible. You can do this by visiting the NDIS website and reading the NDIS Provider Registration and Recognition Guidelines.
Check if you meet the following criteria:
- You must be a registered business or company
- You must have insurance that meets the NDIS Commission’s requirements
- You must have appropriate workers’ compensation coverage for your employees
- You must comply with the Quality and Safeguards Framework, which includes having satisfactory police checks for all employees who will have contact with participants
2. Apply to Be a Provider
If you’re eligible, you can then apply to be a provider by filling out an online application form on the NDIS website. You will need to provide your contact details, business information, and bank account details.3. Wait for Your Application to Be Approved
Once you have submitted your application, the NDIS will review it and decide if you can become a registered provider. If your application is approved, you will receive a Provider Agreement pack in the mail. This pack will include information on your obligations as an NDIS support provider.4. Start Providing Services!
Now that you’re a registered NDIS service provider, you can start providing disability services to participants such as core supports in NDIS, CB support categories and more! It is the time that your company name can be easily searched in the NDIS provider finder’s list online. Remember to keep track of all the services you provide, as well as any expenses incurred. You will need to submit claims for reimbursements regularly.
