Disability
The disability sector is in a constant state of change. Updates to NDIS Practice Standards, increased regulatory scrutiny and stronger enforcement by the NDIS Commission have significantly lifted expectations across governance, risk, incident management and workforce capability.
Providers are expected to demonstrate compliance every day, not just at audit, while continuing to deliver safe, high-quality supports in an environment of workforce shortages, tighter margins and growing risk exposure.
Common pressures include +
- Constant changes to NDIS requirements and guidance
- Fear of non-compliance, complaints and sanctions
- Policies and procedures that exist but are not followed in practice
- Staff unsure of the correct process or where to find it
- Heavy reliance on one or two people holding critical knowledge
- Audit readiness consuming time and energy across the organisation
For sole traders, compliance can feel overwhelming and unclear. For growing and large providers, the challenge becomes consistency, knowledge sharing and governance at scale.
