Consultant pricing, 2026
What NDIS registration consultants actually cost
Published prices from several consultancies side by side, ours included, each linked to the firm's own page. Plus what a consultant's price covers, and the costs it never includes.
Prices checked on each firm's own website on 22 September 2026. All figures ex GST.
The short answer
- Document packs: from about $1,000.
- Supported registration packages: about $1,500 to $7,000.
- Programs with an assigned consultant or months of support: from about $11,000.
- Not included, ever: the audit fee and worker screening. Budget for both separately.
1 — Published prices
What each firm publishes, in its own words.
Every figure below was read on the firm’s own website on 22 September 2026. Where a page showed a reduced price, we list the price it showed that day. The packages aren’t like-for-like, so compare what’s included, not just the number. Prices change: follow the link for the current figure.

We sell these services too, so we’ve listed ourselves on the same terms as everyone else. If you run one of these firms and a figure is wrong or out of date, email info@compliancecare.com.au and we’ll correct it within two business days. We’ll add any firm that publishes prices on its own site.
2 — Why the numbers differ
Three different products share one name.
- Document packs. Pre-written policies and templates you adapt yourself. Cheapest, and the most work for you: an auditor checks that the documents match what happens on shift.
- Supported packages. Documents plus application help and audit preparation, delivered by the firm.
- Programs and private engagements. An assigned consultant, coaching over weeks or months, and reviews of your own documents. Priced for larger providers or those starting from scratch.
Within any of these, scope moves the price: how many registration groups you apply for, verification or certification, the number of sites, and supplementary modules such as SIL or restrictive practices.
3 — Never in a consultant’s price
Budget for these separately.
The audit
Every provider pays an approved quality auditor directly for the verification or certification audit. It isn’t part of any consultant’s published price. For SIL it’s a two-stage certification audit, and it’s often the biggest line in the budget. Our SIL registration cost guide explains what drives it, with sources.
Worker screening
Each worker in a risk-assessed role needs an NDIS Worker Screening Check, paid to the state or territory screening unit. It costs about $110 to $165 per paid worker, depending on the state.
Your own time
Even a done-for-you engagement needs you to supply records, answer questions, sign documents and make the system run on shift. A consultant can build the documents; only you can create the practice evidence behind them.
4 — Before you sign with anyone
Six questions to ask. Ask us too.
- 1
Is the price fixed, in writing, before work starts?
A published starting price tells you whether a firm is in your range. The number that matters is the written quote for your scope: your registration groups, verification or certification, how many sites, and any supplementary modules.
- 2
Are you buying templates, or documents built around your service?
Both are legitimate and priced very differently. A template pack is cheap and needs real work from you to make it true. Documents that describe how your service actually runs cost more because someone has to learn how it runs. Stage 1 audits test the second.
- 3
Who does the work, and what do they know about the standards?
Ask who will write and review your documents, and what their background is in the NDIS Practice Standards and audit methodology.
- 4
What exactly does the guarantee cover?
Some firms offer refunds or pay for a re-audit, and the conditions matter more than the headline. The NDIS Commission, not any consultant, decides whether you are registered. So read what triggers a claim, what's excluded, and whether auditor fees are refunded (they usually aren't).
- 5
Will you recommend an auditor, and do you receive anything for it?
You choose and engage the approved quality auditor yourself. If a consultant suggests one, it's fair to ask whether they have any commercial relationship with that auditor. We don't refer auditors and take no referral fees; our impartiality statement explains how that's controlled.
- 6
What happens after handover?
Registration runs for three years with audits along the way. Ask who keeps the documents current when the Practice Standards or your services change, and what that costs.
Our answers are public: the pricing page, the guarantee and its exclusions, and the impartiality statement.
Common questions
How much does an NDIS registration consultant cost in 2026?
Among the firms that publish prices (checked 22 September 2026), first-registration packages start at about $1,000 for a document pack, and supported packages run about $1,500 to $7,000, ex GST. Programs with an assigned consultant or months of support start at about $11,000. Many firms publish no price and quote after a call.
Does a consultant's fee include the audit?
No. The approved quality auditor charges you directly for the audit, and worker screening is paid to the state or territory. A consultant's price covers their own work only.
Do I have to use a consultant to register?
No. Registration doesn't require a consultant, and every document the Practice Standards call for can be built in-house by someone with the time and the standards knowledge. The trade-off is money against owner hours and the risk of a Stage 1 audit that has to be re-presented.
Why do consultant prices vary so much?
They're selling different things. A document pack, a group coaching program and a done-with-you engagement with an assigned consultant are three different products. Scope moves the price too: more registration groups, certification rather than verification, extra sites and supplementary modules all add work.
