NDIS SIL reform tracker
Every dated milestone in the move to mandatory SIL registration — decisions, legislation, commencement dates and deadlines — newest first, with primary sources. We update this page as changes land. SILReady customers: affected documents are flagged automatically in your dashboard when a change touches them.
- Upcoming
Digital-platform conditions of registration commence
Registered digital platform providers must comply with platform-specific conditions: verifying NDIS worker screening before a worker can offer services through the platform, checking and publishing banning orders, and checking and displaying worker credentials. Platform registration itself has been mandatory since 1 July 2026.
What it means for you: Platform providers: build screening/banning/credential checks into onboarding flows now.

- Deadline
Application deadline for previously-unregistered SIL and platform providers
Providers who were delivering SIL (or operating a digital platform) unregistered before 1 July 2026 must have lodged a registration application by this date to keep operating during the transition. After this date, delivering registration-required supports without having applied means operating unregistered — a criminal offence under the NDIS Act.
What it means for you: Unregistered SIL providers: lodge before this date — see our deadline guide.

- In force
Mandatory SIL registration begins; SIL Practice Standards in force; group 0138 commences
Registration became mandatory for SIL and digital platform providers. The final SIL Practice Standards commenced (four outcome areas: supported decision-making, safeguarding, practice governance, tenancy/housing & support agreements). The new registration group 0138 (Assistance with Supported Independent Living) commenced, with existing 0115 registrations varied by the Commission to include it.
What it means for you: All SIL providers: documents must now align to the final standards, not the draft.

- Law made
Final SIL rules made — F2026L00802 registered
The legislative instruments giving effect to the SIL Practice Standards and the registration changes were made and registered on the Federal Register of Legislation (F2026L00802), ending the draft period. This is the instrument SIL providers are audited against from 1 July 2026.
What it means for you: Providers who built documents on the draft: review against the final instrument.

- Announced — not legislated
Personal care providers announced for mandatory registration (July 2027)
The Government announced that providers of personal care supports are intended to move to mandatory registration from July 2027. This is an announcement only — it has not been legislated and details (scope, transition arrangements, deadlines) are not yet law. Treat July 2027 as indicative until instruments are made.
What it means for you: Personal care providers: watch this page; nothing is legally required yet.

- Decision
Minister decides the first mandatory-registration cohorts
Following the NDIS Provider and Worker Registration Taskforce recommendations, the Minister decided that SIL providers and digital platform providers would be the first cohorts required to register, from 1 July 2026. Support coordination was initially flagged for the same wave, but its move to mandatory registration has since been paused.
What it means for you: SIL providers: this is the decision that set the 2026 timeline in motion.

How to read this tracker
Announced means a government statement with no legal force yet — plan for it, but nothing is required. Law made means an instrument is registered on legislation.gov.au but hasn't commenced. In force means obligations apply now. Deadline is a date with consequences for missing it. For the full background, start with the complete SIL registration guide, the deadline explainer, and the new SIL Practice Standards. The NDIS Commission remains the authoritative source for all of it.
