Six critical considerations for survival, strategy & success in a shifting NDIS sector

Writer: Rachel RileyRachel Riley



The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is undergoing one of the most significant transformations since its inception. Providers are facing mounting financial pressures, increasing regulatory demands, workforce shortages, and operational challenges—all while striving to deliver high-quality services to participants.


According to the NDS State of Disability Sector Report 2024, half of all NDIS providers operated at a loss in 2023–24, and 21% are considering exiting the sector entirely—more than double the previous year’s figure. These pressures have the potential to disrupt the essential services relied upon by more than 100,000 Australians. 


Yet, the sector is not standing still. Providers continue to show remarkable resilience in this climate of uncertainty. Many are already finding new ways to strengthen financial sustainability, streamline compliance, optimise their workforce, embrace technology, safeguard service quality, and scale sustainably.
