Starting an NDIS business in 2025 offers promising opportunities—but understanding the real costs involved is essential for success. Whether you're launching as a sole trader or building a full-scale support organisation, budgeting accurately is your first strategic move.
The initial expenses will vary based on your service type (e.g., registered vs. unregistered provider), business model, and geographic location. Registration with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission incurs costs for audits, application fees, and compliance readiness. For providers offering high-risk services like behaviour support or personal care, third-party certification audits can range from $3,000 to $7,000+. Lower-risk providers may only need a verification audit, which typically costs $1,000 to $2,500.Additional startup costs include business registration, insurance, staff training, policies and procedures, and digital infrastructure. On average, setting up a compliant and audit-ready NDIS business in 2025 can cost anywhere between $5,000 to $15,000, depending on complexity.
Working with experienced consultants like Regis Provider Consulting Services (RPC) can significantly reduce unnecessary expenses. RPC offers fixed-fee packages, policy development, audit support, and guidance tailored to your registration group—ensuring you're compliant without overspending.
Beyond compliance, consider ongoing operational costs such as marketing, staffing, participant management systems, and ongoing training. The NDIS space is highly regulated, and staying up to date is key to long-term success.
Launching an NDIS business is more than just a paperwork exercise—it’s a professional and financial commitment. But with the right preparation and expert support, you can build a sustainable, impactful organisation that thrives under the NDIS.
