The short version: the NDIS Commission lists 38 registration groups, numbered 0101 to 0138. Each one is tied to an audit type: 15 need a certification audit and 23 need a verification audit. If your application includes even one certification group, the whole audit is a certification audit. The full list is below, taken from the Commission's registration groups table on 30 September 2026.
What a registration group is
Registration groups, which the Commission also calls classes of support, are the numbered categories you nominate when you apply to register. They end up on your certificate of registration, and they decide two things: which supports you are registered to deliver, and which audit you have to pass to get there. The Commission's own wording is that the registration groups in an application or renewal "will determine the type of audit they will need to do".

The one rule that decides your audit
The Commission is explicit: "If a provider's application includes registration groups associated with both verification and certification audits, they will need to complete a certification audit." There is no averaging. A provider nominating six verification groups and one certification group faces a certification audit across the application.
The two audits are very different amounts of work. The Commission's types of audits page sets them out: a verification audit is a desktop review of documentary evidence for lower-risk supports, while a certification audit runs in two stages, a desktop Stage 1 and an on-site Stage 2 with record sampling and interviews with workers and participants. So the groups you nominate are the single biggest driver of the cost and length of registration.
The 15 certification groups are: 0102 Assistance to access and maintain employment or higher education, 0104 High Intensity Daily Personal Activities, 0106 Assistance in coordinating or managing life stages, transitions and supports, 0107 Assistance with daily personal activities, 0110 Specialist positive behaviour support, 0115 Assistance with daily life tasks in a group or shared living arrangement, 0117 Development of daily living and life skills, 0118 Early intervention supports for early childhood, 0125 Participation in community, social and civic activities, 0131 Specialist disability accommodation, 0132 Specialised support coordination, 0133 Specialised supported employment, 0136 Group and centre-based activities, 0137 Providing an NDIS digital platform service, 0138 Assistance with supported independent living.
New in 2026: 0137 and 0138
The two newest groups arrived with mandatory registration from 1 July 2026. 0137 Providing an NDIS digital platform service covers digital platform providers, and 0138 Assistance with supported independent living is the group for SIL, which the Commission's SIL mandatory registration page covers in detail. Both require a certification audit. If you deliver SIL, our guide to scoping a registration group 0138 application explains how 0138 relates to 0115, the shared-living group SIL was commonly delivered under before.
A group with extra conditions: 0107
Holding a group can bring conditions beyond the audit. The clearest example is 0107 Assistance with daily personal activities. The Commission's registration conditions for personal support providers apply when a participant who lives alone is supported by a sole support worker. Before allowing that arrangement, the provider must assess the participant's risk factors, have a written service agreement (or a proposed one provided to the participant), and keep an up-to-date record of every participant in that situation. Where a risk factor exists, the provider also needs a documented supervision plan for the worker and regular reports to key personnel.
These conditions sit on the registration itself, so they are tested at audit like any other obligation.
How to choose your groups
- Nominate what you actually deliver. Every group you add widens the standards you are audited against and the evidence you must hold. Every group you leave out is a support you cannot deliver as a registered provider.
- Check each group's audit type before you add it. One certification group turns the whole application into a certification audit, so a "just in case" group can double the work.
- Plan for change. Adding supports after registration means varying your registration, and the Commission can require an audit for it. It is cheaper to scope correctly at the start than to vary in the first year.
- Read your scope of audit when it arrives. After you submit, the Commission sends an initial scope of audit listing your groups and the Practice Standards modules that apply. That document, not your own list, is what the audit is built on.
Our NDIS registration guide walks through the whole application, and the registration roadmap works out your likely audit path in seven questions.
Will the list change in 2027?
Probably in how it is used, possibly in the list itself. The government's July 2026 provider FAQs say mandatory registration will expand to higher-risk supports from 1 July 2027, with all providers in scope registered by December 2030, and that the government will publish a list of the supports it considers high risk. That list had not been published at the time of writing, so any source telling you exactly which registration groups become mandatory in 2027 is ahead of the government. Our 2027 mandatory registration guide tracks what is confirmed.
How Compliance Care helps
Scoping is where we start every registration engagement: which groups you need, which audit that means, and what evidence each group requires. If you are unsure which groups fit your services, book a discovery call and we will map it with you before you lodge.
Common questions
How many NDIS registration groups are there?
The NDIS Commission lists 38 registration groups, numbered 0101 to 0138. 15 require a certification audit and 23 require a verification audit. The two newest, 0137 (NDIS digital platform services) and 0138 (supported independent living), were added with mandatory registration from 1 July 2026.
Which NDIS registration groups need a certification audit?
0102 Assistance to access and maintain employment or higher education, 0104 High Intensity Daily Personal Activities, 0106 Assistance in coordinating or managing life stages, transitions and supports, 0107 Assistance with daily personal activities, 0110 Specialist positive behaviour support, 0115 Assistance with daily life tasks in a group or shared living arrangement, 0117 Development of daily living and life skills, 0118 Early intervention supports for early childhood, 0125 Participation in community, social and civic activities, 0131 Specialist disability accommodation, 0132 Specialised support coordination, 0133 Specialised supported employment, 0136 Group and centre-based activities, 0137 Providing an NDIS digital platform service, 0138 Assistance with supported independent living. If an application includes any of these alongside verification groups, the whole audit is a certification audit.
What is NDIS registration group 0110?
0110 is Specialist positive behaviour support. It is a certification group, so a provider nominating it faces a certification audit.
What is the difference between registration group 0115 and 0138?
0115 is Assistance with daily life tasks in a group or shared living arrangement. 0138 is Assistance with supported independent living, the group created for SIL with mandatory registration from 1 July 2026. Both require a certification audit.
Which registration groups become mandatory in 2027?
Not yet confirmed. The government has said mandatory registration expands to higher-risk supports from 1 July 2027, with all providers in scope registered by December 2030, and that it will publish a list of the supports it considers high risk. That list had not been published at the time of writing.
