How much does NDIS SIL registration documentation cost in Australia?

Published prices checked on 31 July 2026 ranged from A$297 for a document template pack to A$5,200 ex GST for a full done-with-you registration package. Common price points sit between A$297 and A$1,095. Many consultants publish no price at all and quote after a call. The audit fee is separate and is paid to an approved quality auditor.

Is the NDIS audit fee included in these prices?

No. None of these vendors conduct your audit. The audit is performed by an approved quality auditor and paid to them separately. Sky Staff publishes a market range of A$3,000 to A$12,000 or more for a certification audit.

What is the difference between SIL policy templates and self-assessment answers?

Policy templates are the documents your organisation operates under, such as a risk management policy or an incident register. Self-assessment answers are the written responses you give the NDIS Commission and your auditor describing how your service actually meets each outcome. Most products on the market sell templates. Fewer address the self-assessment answers. Buying one when you needed the other is the most common and most expensive confusion in this market.

What NDIS SIL registration documentation actually costs, 2026

Published prices range from A$297 to A$5,200 ex GST. A large part of the market publishes no price at all. Below is every price we could find and verify, what each product actually is, and the distinction that decides whether any of it is the right purchase for you. Prices checked 31 July 2026.

If a price here is wrong, out of date, or your product is described unfairly, email hello@silready.com and we will correct it and note the correction. That is the whole point of maintaining this page rather than writing it once.

The index

Ordered by price. "Ex GST" and "inc GST" are reproduced as the vendor states them, because several do not state it and the difference is 10%.

The consultants who publish no price

This is not a criticism. Consulting scope genuinely varies by provider size, number of houses, participant complexity and how much of your existing documentation survives review, and a firm that quotes after a scoping call is behaving reasonably. But it is a fact of the market worth recording, because a provider comparing options cannot compare what is not published.

Firm	Price published	What they offer
Provider+	None	Registration support, audit coaching, policy development. Free 30-minute consultation as the entry point.
Engels Floyd	None	Registration, self-assessment reviews, custom policies, preparatory and internal audits, training, re-certification. Notes that the initial NDIS application is free and audit costs are paid to your chosen auditor.
Provider Institute	None on the page	Tailored certification policies and procedures pack, priced through an on-page customiser by module, locations and optional consultant support. Delivery within 3 weeks.
Regis Provider Consulting	None	Registration and renewals, mid-term audits, scope upgrades, internal audits, SIL property compliance assessments, ISO support. Free consultation.
Sky Staff	No fee, but publishes a market range	Does not price its own service on the page, but does publish what it says the whole process costs — see below. That is more transparency than most.

The only published whole-of-process figures we found

Sky Staff's market range: A$8,000 to A$25,000+

Sky Staff states that total SIL registration costs "typically range from $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on your organisation's size", and breaks that down as:

Certification audit	A$3,000 – A$12,000+
Insurance	A$2,000 – A$8,000 annually
Policy development	A$2,000 – A$8,000 if consultant-prepared
NDIS consultant fees	A$2,000 – A$10,000
Worker screening checks	A$107 – A$157 per worker

This is one firm's estimate, not an industry survey, and Sky Staff sells into this market. We reproduce it because it is the only published breakdown of the full cost we located, and because it usefully shows how small the documentation line is against the total. If you have data that contradicts it, send it to us.

The distinction that decides whether you bought the right thing

Read the "what it is" column again. Almost everything on the market is one of two quite different purchases, and providers routinely buy one believing they have bought the other.

Policy and template documents. The documents your organisation runs on: a risk management policy, an incident register, a service agreement, a training record, a medication chart. They are the machinery. An auditor will ask to see them and they need to exist, be current, and match what you actually do. Most products in the table above are this, and at A$297 to A$1,095 they are usually good value against writing 90 documents yourself.

Self-assessment answers. The written responses you give the NDIS Commission and your auditor, explaining how your service meets each outcome in the SIL module. Not a policy. A description of practice, in prose, specific to your houses, your staffing model and your participants. This is what the auditor reads first and it is where an application stalls.

The two are not substitutes. A complete set of policies with a thin self-assessment will still attract questions, because the self-assessment is where you demonstrate that the policies are real. Equally, strong self-assessment answers describing controls you do not have documented will not survive evidence review. You generally need both, and it is entirely reasonable to buy them from different places.

Where products sit on this line, as at 31 July 2026: NDISCompliant, Paperbark, NDIS University and Provider Audit Ready describe their products as editable policies, forms and registers. Provider360's Module 5A package includes both templates and sample self-assessment answers. SIL Ready's pack is self-assessment answers and does not include a policy library. Ask before you buy, in writing, which of the two you are getting — the vendors above all answer this question straightforwardly, and the confusion is usually the buyer's assumption rather than the seller's wording.

What you still pay for separately

None of the prices in the index cover the following. Budget for them independently.

Item	Who you pay	Note
The audit	An approved quality auditor	Not payable to any vendor above; none of them audit you and none can. Sky Staff's published range for a certification audit is A$3,000 to A$12,000+, varying with size, number of sites and scope.
Your own time	Yourself	The largest hidden cost. Every product in the index is editable, which means somebody has to do the editing and make it true of your service. Templates that stay generic fail evidence review.
Insurance	Your insurer	Public liability and professional indemnity are checked at registration. Sky Staff publishes A$2,000 to A$8,000 annually.
ABN, entity, governance	ASIC / ATO / your accountant	Entity registration and governance documents sit outside every documentation pack.
Worker screening	State screening unit	Per worker. Sky Staff publishes A$107 to A$157 each.
The NDIS application itself	Nobody	Submitting the initial online application is free, as Engels Floyd notes. The cost is the audit that follows.

How this page was made

Every price was read off the vendor's own public page on 31 July 2026 and is reproduced as stated, including whether it is inc or ex GST and whether it is a promotional price.
Product descriptions come from the vendor's own copy. We have summarised, not editorialised. Where a vendor describes something as "sample self-assessment answers" or "editable templates", we have used their framing.
Promotional prices move. Provider Audit Ready's A$1,095 was marked as a limited-time offer against a regular A$1,825 on the day we checked. Treat any single-day price index as a snapshot.
We have a conflict of interest and are declaring it. SIL Ready sells one of the products listed. We have put our row in the table at its real price with a plain description and no claim of superiority, because a price index that argues for its author is not a price index. Judge the row against the others.

To the vendors listed. If we have your price, product scope or GST treatment wrong, or if you have changed it since 31 July 2026, email hello@silready.com and we will amend the entry and record that we did. If you publish a price and are not listed, tell us and we will add you. We would rather this page be accurate than flattering to us.

The dates that drive all of this spending are covered separately: the SIL registration deadline is 1 October 2026, not 1 July, with the sources for both dates.

This page is general information about market prices, not advice about what your organisation needs. Prices are as published by third parties on their own websites on 31 July 2026 and may change without notice. SIL Ready is not affiliated with any other vendor listed.
