NDIS 0138 Readiness

What it helps organise

---

Pathway clarity, evidence, risk and the order of work

Registration requirements for supported independent living changed in 2026. The pathway that applies to your organisation depends on your registration status, whether you were already delivering SIL, and when delivery began or is planned to begin.

The practical challenge often comes next: evidence spread across policies, rosters, records, meeting notes and daily practice — some strong, some hard to find, some never written down. Leadership needs to know which requirements apply, what the evidence currently supports, and which work matters most.

• Readiness review — structured look at pathway exposure and urgency
• Evidence mapping — what records, policies and operational proof exist or are missing
• Operational-risk translation — where weak systems create provider, participant or worker risk
• Safeguarding-risk awareness — where safety and escalation signals need closer attention
• Practical follow-on consultancy — including readiness reporting and staged action planning

Designed to work alongside established providers: a focused readiness, evidence and operational-risk layer around the provider’s existing service model, with scope agreed in writing and the provider retaining responsibility for its own service delivery and decisions.

What the provider receives

---

A readiness report you can act on, and a plan with dates against it.

An engagement produces two things, both prepared for use inside your own governance and management processes: a written readiness report, and a staged action plan for the next 30, 60 and 90 days.

• Your position against 0138 — where the service stands against registration group 0138 and the supplementary SIL Practice Standards
• Evidence mapping — what evidence exists, where it is held, who owns it, and where the record is thin or missing
• Operational risk — where systems, records or practice create exposure for the organisation, participants or workers
• Clarification requirements — the questions, confirmations and decisions your organisation still needs to resolve, documented rather than assumed
• A staged action plan — the work that matters most, sequenced across 30, 60 and 90 days, with an operational owner recorded against each action

How we work with you

---

A clear engagement sequence

Practical stages of an engagement. Each stage produces something you keep.

1. Scope We confirm your registration position, your service model, your timing and the boundaries of the engagement. Scope is agreed in writing before work begins.
2. Readiness review We examine how the requirements apply to your service and where the pressure sits.
3. Evidence mapping We locate the evidence you hold and test it against how the work is actually performed.
4. Risk and clarification We separate what is established from what is assumed, set out the operational risks, and record the decisions leadership needs to make.
5. Staged plan We sequence the actions with owners and realistic timing across 30, 60 and 90 days.

Each stage is led by a person. The readiness application organises information so that professional attention goes to interpretation and judgement. If the review identifies a serious participant or worker safety concern, we raise it with you directly and record it so it can be escalated through your own processes.
