A policy pack is not your self-assessment.

Fifteen Australian sellers offer “NDIS SIL documentation”. Almost none of them draw the one distinction that decides whether what you buy is any use to you when you apply or renew. Here is the distinction, and here is every seller with their real price.

Prices checked 23 September 2026, each read off the seller’s own public page. DSP and Provider Audit Ready did not load that day, so their rows show the price read on 2 August 2026. Entity and ABN status come from the Australian Business Register as recorded on 2 August 2026, and for ProviderQMS on 23 September 2026. We sell in this market too, and we are in the table with everyone else.

The two purchases

Purchase one

Policies, procedures and registers

The documents an approved quality auditor reads at your Stage 1 desktop review — risk, incidents, complaints, medication, worker screening, and the SIL module standards.

  • When you need it: after you lodge, before your audit.
  • Who sells it: thirteen of the fifteen sellers below, from A$99 to A$3,850.
  • What it does not do: fill in a single box of your application.

Purchase two

The 28 self-assessment answers

The 28 boxes inside the Commission’s application portal. Each asks how your service does one thing — about your own houses. You cannot lodge until all 28 are written.

  • When you need it: before you lodge, for a new application or a renewal.
  • Who writes it for you: we are the only seller here that writes the SIL answers from your own intake, at a fixed published price.
  • Why templates cannot do it: the question is about your service, not about the standard.
Want to see the 28? They are all listed by name, with what the portal asks for each, at /self-assessment.
The practical test. Open the portal and look at box 1. If the product you bought does not contain a written answer for it, that product is purchase one, and purchase two is still ahead of you.

Every Australian seller we could find, with prices

Us first, then every other seller in the order we found them — not sorted by price, because several sell two different things and a single price column would flatter whoever quotes the smaller one. “Templates” means editable files you customise yourself, which is what the seller says, not our characterisation.

Provider One sells example answers rather than documents, 28 responses including the new SIL ones for A$185, so it is covered in the questions below and on the price index rather than in this table.

What the biggest template basket actually costs

Provider360 is the most complete template seller in the table and the most useful worked example, because every figure below is theirs, published on their own pages.

LineTheir published priceWhat you still have to do

Core Module certification package$1,440 ex GST (list $1,800)Customise every document

SIL ReadyA$490 fixedAnswer a short intake, about fifteen minutes

And the number that is better for them than the one above. They also sell a Mega Standard Package covering the Core module plus all the supplementary modules, 1 to 5A, for $2,960 ex GST, reduced from $3,700. If you need more modules than SIL that is better value per module than the basket above, and we would rather point at it than let you find it afterwards and wonder what else we left out.

Two of their own clauses matter here, and we quote them because they are fair and unambiguous. On the self-assessment: “We may provide sample answers for reference only. We do not edit, verify or approve your customised self-assessment answers.” And on refunds: “Due to intellectual property protection, template purchases are final and non-refundable.” Ours is the opposite arrangement — you answer first and the payment button does not appear until your answers are saved.

This is not an argument that they are bad. Their documents are thorough and their support is real, and for the audit stage a provider may well want them. It is an argument about which job you are buying: after about A$2,486 with them — A$3,421 if you take the editing — the 28 boxes in the portal are still empty.

And if you would rather not do any of it yourself

There is a third option, and it is a real one. Provider360 also sells done-for-you Platinum tiers: Verification Platinum $1,570 ex GST (list $1,960), Certification Platinum (Core Module) $2,920 ex GST (list $3,650) and a Mega Platinum at $4,160 ex GST (list $5,200). Those are their published prices, read on their own page on 23 September 2026. For that money they brand the documents inside 24 hours, lodge the application for you, recommend approved auditors, review you before the audit, and publish a money-back guarantee if registration is not achieved through their process. Consultants such as Provider Plus sit in the same territory at prices they do not publish at all.

If that is the job you want done, buy that. Verification and Certification Platinum are three to six times what we charge, and it is a different purchase: the whole registration, not the 28 answers. Two things worth checking before you sign, in your own interest and not ours — whether the Platinum tier you are quoted covers the SIL module specifically rather than the Core module alone, and whether the self-assessment answers are written for you or still handed back for you to write. On their SIL package, the sentence quoted above is Provider360's own.

Where they beat us, plainly. ProviderQMS, formerly NDISCompliant, lets you open real pages of its 140 documents before you pay, and you download straight after purchase. Paperbark publishes a named NDIS Lead Auditor with her credentials, and gives away a free SIL self-rating worksheet and a free Verification toolkit. DSP is itself a registered NDIS provider. Provider Plus has been trading since 2018 and will get on the phone with you. Those are real advantages and you should weigh them. What none of them changes is that their product is not the 28 answers.
One more thing the table shows. This is a young market. Six of the fifteen other sellers registered their ABN in 2022 or later, and three of them since September 2025 — because the SIL registration requirement itself is new. Judge the product, not the letterhead.
A/BTry a finished answer, liveTap the yellow, pick A or B, copy it. Exactly how your own pack works. None of the other sellers we checked publishes a finished sample answer.

Questions providers ask before they buy

Is a policy and procedure pack the same as the self-assessment?

No. A policy pack is the documents an auditor reads at your Stage 1 desktop review, after you have lodged. The self-assessment is the 28 boxes inside the NDIS Commission's application portal that you must fill in before you can lodge at all. Each box asks how your service does one thing, and the answer has to be specific to your organisation. A pack of policies does not fill in a single one of those boxes, and a set of self-assessment answers is not a policy manual. Most providers who buy the wrong one find out at the portal.

I have already bought a $297 or $385 policy pack. Do I still need the self-assessment answers?

You still have 28 empty boxes. The pack you bought is genuinely useful for the audit that comes later, and nothing here says otherwise. What it does not do is write the application. Writing 28 answers of up to 300 words each about your own service is the alternative. If you would rather not, that is what the A$490 buys.

Why not pay an NDIS registration consultant to run the whole thing?

That is a fair option and sometimes the right one. Done-for-you registration runs from $1,570 ex GST for Verification to $2,920 ex GST for Certification with Provider360, their promotional prices on 23 September 2026 (listed at $1,960 and $3,650), and consultants quote after a call, without publishing a price. What that buys is lodgement, branded policies and audit support — the whole job, done by someone else. What we sell is one piece of that job at A$490: the SIL answers, written from your own intake, at a fixed published price. If your budget stretches to the full service and you would rather hand over everything, do that; just ask them first whether the SIL module and the 28 written answers are inside the quote.

Is this a template with my name dropped into it?

No, and the difference is checkable. Our answers are written from a short intake about your houses, your staffing, your supervision and your overnight arrangements. Two providers with the same number of houses get materially different answers. You can read four finished answers in full, for a fictional provider, at /kit before you spend anything.

Which sellers write the answers for you rather than selling templates?

As at 23 September 2026, of the fifteen other Australian sellers on this page, thirteen sell editable templates you customise yourself, one sells consultant coaching at an unpublished price, and one, Paperbark Quality Collective, generates policy documents from an interview. Provider One sells a Certification handbook of 28 example self-assessment responses, including the new SIL 2026 responses, for A$185, and says itself that they “must be rewritten in your own words”. We are the only seller here that writes the SIL answers from your own intake, at a fixed published price. That is the gap this service exists to fill.

Which SIL registration dates still matter?

1 July 2026 is when mandatory registration for SIL and the new SIL Practice Standards commenced. The cut-off for unregistered providers already delivering SIL to lodge and keep operating has now passed. What applies now depends on your path: a renewal can start any time in the 6 months before your registration expires, and the Commission's pathway for new providers gives no closing date, though a new provider cannot deliver SIL until the Commission decides. Every path, with the official links, is at /deadline.

Can you guarantee we pass the audit?

No, and be careful with anyone who does. The Commission and your auditor assess what you actually do, not only what your paperwork says. What we stand behind is our own wording: if an auditor raises a finding against something we wrote, we rewrite it free for 24 months, across two rewrite rounds.

What does the whole thing cost, not just your part?

Lodging with the Commission costs nothing. Our pack is A$490. Your certification audit is paid to an approved quality auditor, not to us. Sky Staff publishes a range of A$3,000 to A$12,000+ for it, varying with size, number of sites and scope (full breakdown at /pricing-index). The spread between quotes is thousands, which is why we write you three quote-request emails ready to send. Add A$300 to A$1,400 on top for policies and procedures from one of the sellers above. We do not sell those yet, and you will need them for the audit itself.

How and when do I pay?

Once, at the very end. You answer the intake first and see exactly what you are buying; the payment button does not appear until your answers are saved. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Afterpay in four interest-free instalments of A$122.50 at no extra cost. A$490 is the full amount and nothing is added at checkout.

What do I still have to do myself?

Three things. Lodge the application yourself in the portal, because it is your application and your declaration. Fill in your own registers, because the entries have to be real. And read the pack against your actual service within seven days, which is what the A$50 review refund is for.

We have already applied. Is this still for us?

If your application is already in, the self-assessment is behind you and your next step is the certification audit, which is what the Audit-Ready Pack is for. It is not on sale yet, and its waiting list locks the founding price. If you are registered and your renewal is coming up, the renewal asks for the self-assessment again, and the A$490 pack is written for that too.

Who is behind this?

SIL Ready is an Australian sole-trader business, ABN 98 174 372 054, working to Melbourne time, contactable at hello@silready.com with a reply inside one business day. We are not an approved quality auditor and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the NDIS Commission. Everything we claim on this site is checkable: the sample answers are published in full, the prices above are dated and sourced from the sellers' own public pages, and our terms are written in plain English.

How this page was made, so you can check it

Each seller’s public pages were first read on 2 August 2026, and every price was checked again on 23 September 2026. Prices are reproduced exactly as written, including whether the seller states inc or ex GST, and where a promotion is running the regular price is shown next to it. Where a seller publishes different prices for the same product on different pages, that is noted. Entity names, entity types and ABN registration dates were taken from the Australian Business Register on 2 August 2026, and for ProviderQMS on 23 September 2026. Where a seller publishes no ABN or legal entity, the table says so — that is a fact about their site, not a judgement about their product. The done-for-you Platinum prices in the section above were read on Provider360’s own page on 23 September 2026.

Every number on this page is checkable in five minutes. If anything on this page is wrong, email hello@silready.com and we will correct it and say that we did. That applies to the sellers listed as much as to buyers.

Not sure which purchase you need? The free readiness check is seven questions, takes about ninety seconds, needs no card and no email, and gives you a straight answer with a real number next to it.
