Midterm Audits Explained

Overview

Registered NDIS providers are required to undertake a midterm audit within 18 months from the date of registration, as shown on the certificate of registration. Completing the midterm audit by the due date is a condition of maintaining your registration as an NDIS provider.

Midterm audits are only for certified providers who have already received their registration and take place in person by an approved auditor, 18 months after registration has been received. The midterm audit will evaluate how effectively you are delivering your services to NDIS participants.

The NDIS midterm audit provides an excellent opportunity to evaluate your business’s performance and identify potential areas for improvement.

The scope of the midterm audit will be proportionate to the size and scope of your services.
