The Compliance Roadmap for 2026

As we approach the end of 2025, NDIS providers have an opportunity to set the tone for the year ahead. Compliance isn’t just about meeting minimum standards - it’s about building a roadmap that supports quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.

A clear compliance roadmap helps you stay proactive, reduce risk, and give your team confidence in their roles. Here’s how to create one for 2026.

Why a compliance roadmap matters

Without a plan, compliance can feel reactive and overwhelming. A roadmap ensures:

  • Policies and procedures are reviewed on schedule

  • Responsibilities are clearly assigned

  • Audit readiness is built into daily workflows

  • Continuous improvement becomes part of your culture

Key steps for your 2026 compliance roadmap

1. Review your current state
Assess your policies, registers, and audit outcomes from 2025. Identify gaps and improvement areas.

2. Set clear goals
Decide what success looks like - from reducing audit findings to improving staff engagement with compliance processes.

3. Plan your updates
Schedule policy reviews, training sessions, and system refreshes. Make sure responsibilities are documented.

4. Monitor and adjust
Use dashboards and reports to track progress and make changes as needed.
