Frequently asked questions
Do I need separate NDIS registration to provide SIL?
Yes. From 1 July 2026 you must hold the dedicated registration group 0138 (Assistance with SIL) and meet the SIL Supplementary Module of the Practice Standards. Holding other groups, including SDA for the housing, does not cover the in-home support. Confirm the current requirement on ndiscommission.gov.au before you claim any SIL line item.
Is SIL a certification or verification audit?
Certification. SIL is a higher-risk, complex support, so it takes the two-stage certification audit — a desktop review followed by an on-site audit with participant and worker interviews — conducted by an NDIS Approved Quality Auditor you engage. Verification, the lighter path for low-risk supports, does not apply to SIL.
I already deliver SIL. When am I assessed against the new module?
At your next scheduled audit — your mid-term surveillance or renewal — not immediately. Use the runway to gap-analyse against the Supplementary Module and close evidence gaps in rostering, incident management and restrictive practices before the auditor arrives, rather than treating it as no action required.
What changed with SIL pricing in 2026-27?
The flat overnight model was replaced with tiered active and passive overnight rates, and Rosters of Care are now submitted and approved digitally with written justification. The 2026-27 PAPL was published on 23 June 2026 and applies from 1 July 2026, so update your line items, quotes and service agreements. Confirm the exact rates on the NDIA pricing pages.
How much of the SIL price limit is profit?
Far less than the headline gap suggests. The difference between the PAPL price limit and the worker's SCHADS award wage (MA000100, roughly $31-$44/hr) must cover superannuation at 12% from 1 July 2026, insurance, supervision, training, admin, unbillable time and leave loading. Passive overnight and weekend penalty shifts compress margin further, so model each shift type separately.
