If you’re a registered NDIS provider and you need to make some changes, we’ve got you covered. Here’s what you need to know:
Applying to vary your Approved Registration
As a registered NDIS provider, you have the option to apply to vary your approved registration in a few different ways. You can:
- add or remove registration groups / service delivery;
- vary a condition of your registration; or
- vary the length of time your registration is in force.
To do any of these things, you’ll need to fill out an ‘Application for Variation of Registration’ form. Here’s how:
1. Request the Form
To get the form, send an email to variations@ndiscommission.gov.au. You’ll get an auto-reply with the application form attached.
2. Complete and Submit the Form
Once you have the form, fill it out and send it to registration@ndiscommission.gov.au. Make sure the application is submitted by the key people in your business.
3. Consider an Audit
If you’re applying to add registration groups or service delivery, you’ll need to be assessed by an approved quality auditor as meeting the relevant NDIS Practice Standards. So, reach out to your approved quality auditor (AQA) to discuss whether an audit is required to support your variation request. If it is, include these details in the application form and provide evidence of the confirmed audit dates. If the audit has already been completed, your AQA will upload the audit report to the NDIS Commission Portal.
4. Wait for a Decision
Once the variation application and any required audit documentation is received, the next steps is the assessment and determination of your request. Please note that the completion of an audit is not approval for the variation. Only the NDIS Commissioner or their delegate can vary the registration of a registered NDIS provider. A notice of decision will be issued once everything has been assessed.
