Running an NDIS business means juggling GST-free supply rules, SCHADS Award payroll, NDIA payment timing, and strict compliance obligations — on top of actually delivering care. At Perth Tax Accounting Co, we provide accounting and bookkeeping services built specifically around how NDIS providers operate, so you can focus on participants instead of paperwork.
Who we work with
Sole trader and independent support workers operating as NDIS providers. Small to medium disability service businesses across Core Supports, Capacity Building, and Supported Independent Living. New providers setting up their business structure before registering with the NDIS Commission. Support coordinators and plan managers needing compliant financial reporting.
What’s included
- Business structuring advice — sole trader, company, or trust: we help you choose the right structure before you start, or restructure if your business has outgrown its current setup
- GST-free supply assessment — correctly classify each support against the ATO’s three-part test and the NDIS Determination 2021, so you never over- or under-charge GST

Why the timing matters
The 2026-27 Federal Budget confirmed the NDIS will receive its largest-ever annual investment, with total scheme expenditure projected to reach $56.5 billion. Alongside this, the Government has committed $1.7 billion to strengthen participant supports and scheme sustainability, plus $3 billion in new Foundational Supports and a $4 billion Thriving Kids program for children with developmental delay or autism. For NDIS providers, this means continued demand, but also tighter scrutiny on compliance, claims accuracy, and provider registration. Getting your financial systems right now puts your business in the strongest possible position.

FAQ
Not necessarily. Most NDIS supports are GST-free, and GST-free income doesn’t count toward the $75,000 GST registration threshold. Many providers earn well above $75,000 in total revenue without ever needing to register — but if you also deliver any taxable services, the calculation changes. We can assess your specific situation.
Both registered and unregistered providers can supply GST-free services if they meet the ATO’s conditions. The financial difference mainly comes down to compliance overhead, NDIS Commission registration costs, and which participants you can serve, since some plan types require a registered provider.
Yes. We work with providers from the very beginning, helping you choose the right business structure, set up compliant bookkeeping, and understand your tax obligations before your first invoice goes out.
Yes, including SCHADS Award compliance, correct application of penalty rates and allowances, and superannuation.
