Frequently asked questions
What does it mean to be listed on the NDIS Commission register of registered providers?
It means the organisation appears on the official public list. A listing shows what the provider is registered for and where. It is not a recommendation or a rating of quality.
Does a listing mean a provider has room to start now?
No. A register listing does not show whether a provider has capacity, what it charges or whether it suits your needs. Providers who have joined SolDirectory confirm each week whether they are taking new people. For anyone else, ask the provider directly.
How do I check a provider's registration?
Search the official register at NDIS Commission’s “Find a registered provider” (https://www.ndiscommission.gov.au/provider-registration/find-registered-provider), and ask the provider for its registration details and how its workers are screened before you agree to anything.

Check before you engage. Listings are based on NDIS Commission register of registered providers data and may be out of date. To confirm a provider’s current status, search the official register at NDIS Commission’s “Find a registered provider”. A listing does not show whether a provider has capacity to take on new people. Based on Commonwealth of Australia (NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission) data. See data sources and attribution. We re-import the register every month. Report an error or request removal. We reply to every request within 5 business days. If you are an individual, such as a sole trader, listed under your own name, you can ask us to change or remove that listing.
