What the NDIS Practice Standards look like when it's just you
The Practice Standards were written for organisations with staff, managers and a board. You're registering as one person. This free tool works through the standards, shows you which documents and records you need to hold, and tells you which ones you're missing.
Tick what you already have. Download a report of the rest. Nothing you tick leaves your browser.
No account or sign-up • Your answers never leave your browser • Progress saves for 30 days
Written for organisations, so how can you meet them?
Most of the standards assume there are staff to induct, rosters to manage, and a governing body to report to. When you work on your own, a lot of this looks different in practice.
Tell the tool you work on your own and it drops the items that can't apply to a one person business, and rewords the rest for one person. It doesn't shorten the standards - a one person provider managing medication needs training records in place just like a large organisation.
What you'll download
- Evidence you still need, grouped by outcome
- A record of what you confirmed you hold, in the same order
- Anything you marked not applicable
- A section naming what was left out because you work alone, and why
- Your own brand colour on the headings, if you want it
How long it takes
This is a real piece of work which requires consideration, not a quick quiz, and it can take 30 to 60 minutes to complete. Your progress saves in your browser for 30 days, so you can stop whenever and pick up where you left off, and you can download the report part-finished at any time.
Is this the right tool for you
This covers the certification pathway. Which pathway you're on comes from the registration groups on your application, not from us, and we don't tell you which modules you need.
If you're on the verification pathway you're assessed against a much shorter set of standards. Check out our free Verification Toolkit for assistance.
What this tool does not do
It asks whether you have a piece of evidence, but it doesn't tell you whether what you have is sufficient, and ticking everything doesn't guarantee you'll pass your audit.
Auditors look for evidence that your processes are being implemented day to day, such as training records, decisions being made, and things changing as a result.
This is preparation support, not an audit and not advice. It is not produced or endorsed by the NDIS. Only an approved quality auditor can audit your service and recommend registration.
