Frequently Asked Questions
What is changing for SIL from 1 July 2026?
The Australian Government is introducing mandatory NDIS registration for all Supported Independent Living (SIL) providers. This means that after 1 July 2026, providers who are not registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission can no longer legally deliver SIL services or receive NDIS funding for them.
Previously, SIL could be delivered by both registered and unregistered providers. This is no longer the case after the deadline.
How do I know if my provider is registered?
You can ask your provider directly or search the NDIS Provider Register on the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission website. Simply search by provider name and look for registration that covers Supported Independent Living.
Do I need to give notice if I want to change providers?
In most cases, yes. Your SIL arrangement is governed by a service agreement, which typically includes a notice period – commonly 2 to 4 weeks, though some providers may require more (up to 6 or even 8 weeks).
Even if your provider is unregistered, you are generally expected to follow the terms of your service agreement. There is currently no blanket rule that allows immediate exit simply because a provider is unregistered.
This is why starting early is so important – the more time you have, the more smoothly a transition can be managed.
My provider said they are “preparing to register” – is that OK?
Providers who are actively working toward registration may be able to continue operating during the transition period leading up to 1 July 2026. However, once mandatory registration is fully enforced, only fully registered providers will be permitted to deliver SIL.
“Preparing to register” is not a permanent solution. If your provider is mid-process, the key questions to ask are: What is their expected registration date? What happens if they don’t achieve it in time? What is their contingency plan for your support?
How long does a SIL transition typically take?
Review your service agreement to understand your notice period, exit terms, and any conditions around transitioning. This sets the clock on when you need to act.
A well-managed SIL transition typically requires at least 6 weeks – sometimes more – to allow time to find the right home, manage your current notice period, complete documentation, and ensure a smooth handover of care.
With the July 2026 deadline approaching, the window for a comfortable, well-planned transition is narrowing. Transitions that are rushed may result in placements that aren’t the perfect fit, which can mean another disruption down the track.
Will there be enough SIL providers to choose from?
In the short to medium term there is likely to be some reduction in available providers. Registration involves audits, compliance systems, and costs that some smaller or newer providers may choose not to undertake.
The more lead time you have, the more choice you’ll have. Rushed transitions mean less ability to find the right fit – in terms of location, environment, culture, and care.
What if I’m in a regional or rural area?
Regional participants may face additional challenges, as provider density is lower and choice may reduce more significantly in some areas. This makes early planning even more critical for people outside major cities.
Speak with your support coordinator as early as possible to understand what registered options exist in your area, and whether you may need to consider different arrangements.
I don’t have a support coordinator, what should I do?
If you don’t currently have a support coordinator, you may be able to access one through your NDIS plan if you have Support Coordination funding. Alternatively, Local Area Coordinators (LACs) can also assist with understanding your options.
