Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be NDIS registered to have a provider website?
No. Unregistered providers can and should have a website, and many operate legally by serving self-managed and plan-managed participants. Just be honest about your status — do not imply registration or NDIA endorsement you do not hold. Note that mandatory registration is expanding to high-risk supports from 1 July 2027, and differentiated pricing between registered and unregistered providers is slated for consultation in H2 2026, so confirm how the changes affect your supports.
Can I put participant testimonials and photos on my NDIS website?
Only with informed, specific, and revocable consent from the person. The NDIS Code of Conduct requires you to respect privacy and dignity, so you cannot publish someone's disability details, image, or story without documented permission. Keep the consent on file, let people withdraw it, and avoid anything that could identify a participant without their agreement. Confirm current advertising guidance at ndiscommission.gov.au before publishing.
How much should an NDIS provider spend on a website?
Match the spend to your stage. A sole trader can launch effectively on a DIY builder for well under $400 a year; a growing SME might pay $800–$3,000 for a freelancer-built template site; a custom agency build runs $5,000 and up. Under capped NDIS prices every fixed cost eats margin, so start lean and reinvest once enquiries are flowing. Costs are indicative for 2026 and vary by scope.
What is the single most important page on an NDIS provider website?
Your services page, written in the everyday language participants and coordinators actually use, with the NDIS support category noted for the technical reader. It lets both audiences self-qualify in seconds — what you deliver, who it suits, where, and how to start. A clear services page with an easy enquiry path converts better than any amount of design polish or blog content.
How do I make sure my website copy stays compliant?
Keep claims factual and checkable, avoid guaranteed outcomes and fear-based urgency, disclose any conflict of interest (for example if you also deliver support coordination), and gather consent for testimonials. Review against the NDIS Code of Conduct and the Commission's advertising expectations, and re-check when guidance updates — enforcement powers are being strengthened over 18 months from 2026. When in doubt, plain and honest is both safer and more persuasive.
