Compliance issues under the NDIS rarely happen overnight. Most non‑conformities develop gradually due to gaps in systems, oversight, or documentation.
Many providers deliver high‑quality supports but still encounter compliance issues because they lack a structured way to track obligations, monitor risks, and evidence what they do.
WHY COMPLIANCE ISSUES OCCUR UNDER THE NDIS
NDIS compliance issues typically arise due to:
- Missing or expired documents
- Unclear governance responsibilities
- Poor or inconsistent documentation
- Rosters that don’t align with service agreements or claims
- Limited oversight of risks and incidents
Auditors focus on systems and evidence, not intentions.
COMMON COMPLIANCE MISTAKES AND HOW TO AVOID THEM
1. Not Tracking Organisational Compliance Obligations
Organisational documents like insurance, registration, and policies must remain current.
NITComply helps by tracking obligations, expiry dates, and reminders.
2. Governance Gaps
Missing governance roles raise audit concerns.
NITComply highlights governance gaps and prompts corrective action.
3. Missing Participant Documentation
Service agreements and plans must be current.
NITComply tracks required participant documents automatically.
4. Poor Documentation of Service Delivery
Generic or late notes are high‑risk.
NITComply supports structured notes, voice‑to‑text, and mobile entry.
5. Poor Oversight of Risks and Incidents
Untracked risks lead to serious breaches.
NITComply centralises incident and risk registers.
