NDIS SIL Reform: What You Need to Know Before July 2026

If you’re currently receiving SIL supports, the most important question is:
Is my provider registered or becoming registered by 1 July 2026?

You can check any provider’s registration status on the NDIS Commission website by searching their name or ABN:
https://www.ndiscommission.gov.au/provider-registration/find-registered-provider

If your provider is not yet registered, now is the right time to start planning. You may want to:

• Speak with your current SIL provider about whether they’re registering
• Chat with your Support Coordinator about your options
• Explore other registered SIL providers near you

Planning early helps ensure a smooth, stress‑free transition — if one is needed.

At Alkira, we are already a fully registered SIL provider and have been supporting people with disabilities for more than 70 years. If you’d like help navigating your next steps, our team is here when you need us.

Support Coordinators play a key role in helping participants understand the changes ahead.

Some providers may currently be midway through the registration process. However, as July 2026 draws nearer, participants will need clear guidance on whether their SIL arrangements will remain compliant.

Contingency planning is essential even if a provider intends to register.

Alkira not only meets all SIL registration requirements but also offers partnership pathways for non‑registered providers who want to maintain continuity of care for participants. See more information on our website here: <link for partnership page>

If a provider isn’t registered by 1 July 2026, they will no longer be able to deliver SIL supports.

If a change becomes necessary, the priority should be:

• A well‑planned transition
• Clear, open communication
• Minimal disruption to routines and supports

Alkira is prepared and ready to support participants through structured, well‑communicated transitions. We’re also open to working collaboratively with existing providers to keep continuity of care at the centre of every decision.

If you think you may need to transition, reach out early — more time means a smoother experience.

Supported Residential Services (SRS) themselves are not NDIS-registered SIL providers.

Alkira can work alongside residents, families, SRS operators and Support Coordinators to explore appropriate and compliant support arrangements. Our focus is on ensuring people continue to feel safe, supported and connected to their community.

We understand change can feel uncertain, and we’ve been around for a lot of sector changes and pressures. Our role is to provide clarity, reassurance and practical options so that no one feels unprepared.
