Ever wondered what a registered NDIS provider actually does? At Lotus, we’re here to guide you through what we do and how we can walk alongside you to make your NDIS journey easier and more fulfilling.
What does a registered NDIS provider really mean?
A registered NDIS provider is an individual or organisation approved by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) or the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission to deliver NDIS-funded support and services.
To become registered, a provider must:
- Apply for registration with the NDIS Commission.
- Pass an audit and assessment against the NDIS Practice Standards to show they meet strict quality and safety requirements.
- Go through a suitability check for both the business and its key personnel.
- Follow the NDIS Code of Conduct and meet other rules, such as staff screening, incident management and reporting.
Once these steps are completed, the provider receives a certificate of registration and must continue to meet all compliance requirements.
How does a registered NDIS provider support you with your NDIS plan?
A registered NDIS provider helps you use your NDIS plan in many ways.
- Plan management: Help you manage your budget, track spending and make sure costs follow NDIS rules.
- Paying providers: Handle and pay invoices for your services so you don’t have to deal with the paperwork.
- Advice and guidance: Answer your questions and guide you so you can understand and use your plan well.
- Building independence: By taking care of the admin and finances, they give you more time and energy to focus on your goals.
From budgeting to finding support, a registered NDIS provider can make it easier to manage your plan and get the most out of the NDIS.
