A count of compliance and enforcement entries by type and year, using only what the Commission has published.

*2026 covers entries effective to 24 November 2026, including two dated after our retrieval date. One compliance notice has no date and is counted in the total only.

What the compliance notices are about

Of the 2,865 compliance notices, 2,683 mention an audit and 182 do not. The audit notices typically require a provider to engage an approved quality auditor and complete a mid-term or condition audit by a stated date. The other 182 cover a mix of matters, such as safe environments for participants and compliance with the NDIS Code of Conduct and Practice Standards.

The volume is uneven. Over 700 notices have an effective date in January 2026 alone, and several other months show large batches. We have not looked into why.

Banning orders

Of 859 banning orders, 352 are described as permanent in the published text, 483 carry an end date, and the remaining 24 are described as temporary or could not be classified from the text. Banning orders can name individuals as well as organisations. In line with our methodology, we publish counts only and do not name individuals.

In force at 4 November 2026

Counting entries with no end date or an end date after 4 November 2026: 759 revocations, 714 banning orders, 619 compliance notices, 140 refusals to re-register and 2 enforceable undertakings.

Methodology

How we sourced this

Sources
  • NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, Compliance and enforcement actions register (CSV export, retrieved 4 November 2026)
Period and scope
Entries with effective dates from 25 January 2019 to 24 November 2026
Method
We counted entries by the register's own type and effective date. Audit-related notices were identified by searching the published notice text for the word audit. Banning order duration was read from the published text and end dates. All counts are of entries, not providers.
Limitations
Publication lag, entries the Commission has not published, repeat entries for one provider, and keyword-based classification of notice text.
