Written in plain English for the people who actually carry compliance, not for lawyers. Each section tells you what changed, what it means, and what to do next.
Who must register, and by when
The new functional definition of SIL, why it is broader than registration group 0115, and the two dates that matter: commencement on 1 July 2026 and the 1 October 2026 apply-by point for existing providers.
The new SIL Practice Standards
The four final outcomes, supported decision-making, safeguarding, practice governance, and tenancy, housing and support, and how they layer on the Core Module in your certification audit.
Penalties that gained teeth
The serious-contravention civil penalties under the NDIS Amendment (Integrity and Safeguarding) Act 2026, plus the new change-of-ownership obligations for every registered provider.
Incidents, screening and audit
The reportable incident types and their 24-hour and 5-day clocks, worker screening, and what a Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audit actually asks for.
A 90-day readiness plan
A week-by-week checklist to move from unregistered to application-ready, so the certification audit does not catch you cold.
What is still moving
The platform provider conditions from January 2027, the broader registration expansion to 2030, and where the transition detail is still settling, so you know what to watch.
