A New Era of Quality and Safety for Supported Independent Living Providers
As registered NDIS providers, SDA Services welcomes the Albanese Government's announcement of mandatory registration for Supported Independent Living (SIL) and platform providers starting 1 July 2026. This milestone represents a significant step forward in ensuring the highest standards of care, safety, and accountability for NDIS participants.
The move to mandatory registration aligns perfectly with our mission to empower people with disabilities to live independently, confidently, and with dignity. By raising the bar for all providers, these changes will foster a stronger, safer, and more transparent NDIS system—one that prioritises the well-being of participants above all else.
What This Means for the Disability Community
Mandatory registration will ensure that every SIL provider meets rigorous quality standards, undergoes independent audits, and adheres to strict worker screening checks. This is a win for NDIS participants, who can now feel even more confident in the supports they receive, knowing that their providers are held to the highest levels of accountability.
For SDA Services, this is an opportunity to continue leading by example. We have always championed quality, safety, and participant-centered care, and these new regulations reinforce the importance of these values across the sector.
A Commitment to Excellence
The introduction of new Practice Standards for SIL providers is another exciting development. These standards will focus on improving worker training, ensuring safety in shared accommodations, and enhancing the quality of daily supports. At SDA Services, we see this as a chance to further refine our services and continue delivering exceptional outcomes for our participants.
The inclusion of platform providers in these regulations is also a welcome change. By ensuring that online marketplaces meet the same high standards, the NDIS is taking a proactive step to protect participants in every aspect of their care journey.
A Collaborative Future
We applaud the extensive consultation undertaken with the disability community and NDIS sector to shape these changes. This collaborative approach reflects the shared commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive NDIS.
As we prepare for the transition to mandatory registration, SDA Services is ready to support our participants, workers, and the broader community through this period of change. We are committed to maintaining our position as a trusted provider and advocate for people with disabilities. We are proud to be part of this journey and remain dedicated to delivering high-quality, participant-focused services that empower individuals to live their best lives.
Together, we can build a stronger, safer, and more inclusive NDIS for all.
