The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission have released two summary papers on the outcome of the consultations for the mandatory registration of Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Support Coordination (SC) Providers and Platform Providers. In this article, DSC looks into the feedback from the SIL and Support Coordination consultation and what it might mean for the future of NDIS registration.

As of today’s count, there are some 260,000 NDIS providers, with 16,000 (6%) being registered. The clear message from the government is that a stronger, more robust system of provider registration is necessary for a thriving NDIS.
