Do I need to register with the NDIS to provide Personal Training services?

You don’t need to register with the NDIS if you’re providing services to a person managing their own funding given to them by the NDIS for personal training. You will need to check with them if they are accessing a “Self- Managed Plan” before you can work with them.

You also don’t need to register with the NDIS if a person has a NDIS plan manager helping them look after their NDIS funding for personal training. You will need to ask them if they are using a  “Registered Plan Management Provider” before you can work with them.

You will need to be registered with the NDIS if the person’s NDIS funding for PT services is being managed by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). If a person is using an “Agency Managed Plan” you cannot work with them unless you are registered.

You will need also need to be registered NDIS provider if you are delivering specialist behaviour support services: which means you will be working with children and adults to bring about behavioural change, helping them to develop independence, life skills, communication strategies, and effective management of their emotions.

You will also need to be registered as a NDIS provider if you work with people with very high needs, which is someone who has a lot of trouble doing daily tasks on their own.
