The requirement

The provider tells the Commissioner, using the form the Commissioner approves and as quickly as it can after it learns a change will happen or it happens (whichever is earlier), about any shift to the details it uses to be contacted and any shift of scale in the supports it is registered to give: the geographic areas served, the places it operates from, a large rise or fall in the number of people served, or a large rise or fall in workers.

The evidence to bring

  • Notification records lodged in the NDIS Commission portal with dates
  • Internal trigger list linking new sites, service areas and headcount changes to a notification step

What assessors commonly find

  • New sites opened without notice
  • Rapid growth in participants or workers not notified

What evidence do I need?

For s13 Notify changes to contact details and to scale, the evidence to bring is: Notification records lodged in the NDIS Commission portal with dates. It sits under Conditions of registration (Rules Part 4, Act ss 73F to 73J) and the instrument's own clause is Rules s 13. Keep every record dated, signed and current, and name who owns it.

Answer the reviewer first

Show me notification records lodged in the NDIS Commission portal with dates, and tell me who owns it and when it was last reviewed.

That is the question a quality assessor opens with for this requirement. Have the record on the desk and the date it was last reviewed to hand.

If this change has to be notified

A change to your contact details or your scale, a significant event or a change of ownership starts a clock. Describe the change once and the notifiable change checker works out who to notify and by when, and shows the rules it rests on.
