NDIS provider valuations
Independent valuations for NDIS providers, whatever the decision.
An NDIS provider is worth the earnings it can hold under the pricing arrangements and plan rules applying at the valuation date, adjusted for how much of that income depends on a few participants, on the owner and on a workforce paid under the SCHADS Award. What a buyer, a departing shareholder, a court or the Australian Taxation Office will accept depends on the purpose. These pages explain what changes for each one.
- Supported independent living (SIL) providers
- Specialist disability accommodation (SDA) owners
- Daily living and community participation providers
- Support coordination businesses

The specialist questions
The questions every NDIS valuation has to answer
What actually transfers?
An NDIS registration is linked to a single ABN and is not transferable, so a share sale and an asset sale deliver very different things. A change of ownership has to be notified to the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, and participants must not be moved to a new owner automatically.
Selling an NDIS businessHow concentrated is the revenue?
Funding follows the participant. Where most revenue comes from a handful of participants, one home or one referring support coordinator, a buyer prices the possibility of losing them, and so does the valuation.
What is my NDIS business worth?Does the labour margin survive paying wages properly?
Labour is the dominant cost against a price the provider cannot raise. Sleepovers, active nights, penalty rates, broken shifts and agency use decide whether the reported margin holds once rosters are funded as the award requires.
SIL provider valuationWhich reforms land inside the forecast?
The Scheme changes on published dates: budget allocations, claiming windows, plan rollover, mandatory registration, plan management and support coordination arrangements. A valuation states which of them it assumes and how.
