For existing unregistered SIL providers, the current transition wording includes an apply-by date of 1 October 2026. Start with the facts.

For small NDIS and aged-care providers

If 1 October is on your calendar, start with the facts.

1 July 2026 starts the mandatory-registration rollout; new SIL/platform providers need registration, while existing unregistered SIL providers have a transition and must apply by 1 October 2026 to continue. Clearharbour turns a frightening deadline into a scoped next step.

When the folder is full

The question is usually not “Can I find a policy?”

It is “Which scope applies to us, what evidence is missing, who owns the next action, and what can we honestly say about it?” Small providers often carry this role alongside rosters, incidents, workers and clients.

  • Missing information is recorded as a limitation, not filled with an assumption.
  • A document is not presented as proof that a control is operating.
  • The provider remains responsible for implementation, truthful records and submissions.
  • The auditor and relevant authority keep their own independent decision.

The service boundaries are set out in the four offer specifications and the local claims-discipline rules.

The operating difference

Current work is more than an updated document.

Start with scope

Entity, supports, modules, sites, worker picture, evidence owners and dates are visible before production.

Compare the source

Claims are compared against the named source, mapped to the agreed scope and flagged where a review date is stale.

Review the conclusion

Review gates are applied to match the risk carried by the claim before anything is released.

Return the next action

Client-owned implementation, evidence and decisions are named instead of hidden behind a polished folder.

Aged-care scope

Category-specific, not one-size-fits-all.

For Support at Home work, the local regulatory canon is specific: providers receiving Support at Home funding must be registered in Category 4 with the service type “care management”. Categories 4, 5 and 6 are not interchangeable home-care labels; Clearharbour scopes the relevant category, evidence and renewal context.
