If you or someone you support relies on the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), finding the right services can be overwhelming. That’s where NDIS provider listings come in. These listings simple directories of organisations and service providers registered under NDIS help participants browse and connect with providers offering appropriate supports.
At its core, an NDIS provider listing is a publicly accessible record of a provider (individual or organisation) who is authorised to deliver support under NDIS. A provider can be a small independent business, a not-for-profit organisation, or a large service agency.
When a provider completes the registration process with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (NDIS Commission) including demonstrating compliance with the required standards, passing audits, and having key personnel screened they become an “approved” NDIS provider whose details are published in the official provider register.
That registration unlocks certain important privileges. For example, participants whose funding is managed by the NDIS Agency (rather than self- or plan-managed) can only use registered providers for their supports.
What Listings Typically Include
An NDIS provider listing generally offers:
The name of the provider (organisation or individual)
A summary of the services or supports offered (e.g., supported independent living, allied health, therapy, daily personal care, support coordination, accommodation supports)
Provider status whether they are “registered”, “approved”, or otherwise giving participants clarity and confidence in the provider’s compliance with NDIS standards.
Contact details and possibly location information, helping participants find a provider in their region and reach out.
Choosing the Right Provider via Listings
Using NDIS provider listings, participants have greater choice and transparency. Before committing, it's wise to connect with a few providers to explore:
What types of supports they offer (behaviour support, therapy, accommodation, daily living assistance, etc.).
Whether the provider is currently active and registered (some listings may show providers whose registration is suspended or revoked).
Their flexibility in communication (in-person visits, video calls, phone or email), hours, responsiveness, and suitability to individual needs.
For participants who self-manage funding or have a plan manager, it is possible to use unregistered providers — but this comes with tradeoffs. For services such as specialist disability accommodation, high-intensity daily support, behaviour support, or plan management services, registration with the NDIS Commission is mandatory.
