Registering as a new SIL provider in the NDIS Commission’s new portal

Checked against the NDIS Commission’s website on 19 October 2026 · about 2 minutes to read

What changed

New applications now start in the new portal. The Commission’s Which portal do I use? page (updated 15 October 2026) says to use the new NDIS Commission portal for new work from 12 October 2026. If you want to apply for registration, you sign in to the new portal and start a new application.

New portalNew work from 12 October

Including a new registration application. This is where a new SIL provider starts.

Existing portalApplications already submitted

To finish applications already submitted before 12 October and see historical records. Registration applications still in draft on 12 October were removed.

The Commission says providers now use two portals, the existing one and the new one. To sign in to either one, the Commission says you need a PRODA account or a myID, with RAM authorisation if you act for an organisation.

The steps, in order

This is the path the Commission sets out for a new provider in its registration map for the new portal. Each step links to the official page.

  1. You · Part 1

    Your business, your services, your key people

    • Enter your ABN, so your details can be checked automatically.
    • Choose the NDIS services and supports you will provide.
    • Add every one of your key personnel, with their NDIS Worker Screening ID, or their Worker Screening Application ID if their check is still in progress. The Commission says your application will not move forward unless each has applied.
    • Your key personnel get an email and log in to complete their own short suitability check.
    • The Commission says a draft stays in the portal for up to 30 days.

  2. You · Part 2

    The self-assessment against the Practice Standards

    If no further check is needed after Part 1, you can start Part 2 straight away; sometimes Commission staff check your information first. In Part 2 you complete a detailed self-assessment against each of the NDIS Practice Standards that apply to you, then declare and submit. The Commission says auditors use it to inform their assessment of your service.

  3. You · Auditor

    Scope of audit, quotes, then nominate your auditor

    • After you submit Part 2, download your Scope of Audit document.
    • Use it to get quotes from approved quality auditors, outside the portal.
    • Back in the portal, open your application, choose Nominate an Auditor and confirm. The auditor accepts the request in the portal.

  4. Auditor

    The audit

    Your approved quality auditor contacts you to schedule the audit and decide which sites will be inspected, then checks that your business meets the NDIS Practice Standards that apply.

  5. Commission

    The decision

    After the audit, you see the auditor’s recommendation in the portal and submit the results to the Commission. The Commission looks at your whole application and your auditor’s recommendation, and does a final check that your business and key personnel are suitable. If it approves, you receive a Certificate of Registration showing your approved supports and your conditions.

Where people get stuck: Part 2

Part 1 is mostly facts you already have: your ABN, your services, your people. Part 2 is different. It asks how your service meets each Practice Standard that applies to you, written by you, specific to your organisation.

For SIL, we list the 28 Practice Standard outcomes that apply to SIL, one by one: 24 from the Core Module and 4 from the SIL supplementary module, each with what the box is looking for and the official standard behind it.

Quick answers

I started an application in the old portal. Where do I go now?

If you submitted it before 12 October, you finish it in the existing portal. If it was still a draft on 12 October, the Commission says it was removed: start a new application in the new portal. Its Which portal do I use? page sets out which work goes where.

Does the self-assessment still come before the audit?

Yes. You submit the Part 2 self-assessment first, and that gives you the Scope of Audit you use to get quotes from auditors.

Can someone help me write the self-assessment?

Yes, with conditions. The Commission’s guidance expects you to be substantially involved and your answers to be specific to your organisation. What the Commission allows →
