How long does the NDIS change of ownership process take?

The process typically takes 4–8 weeks from notification to Commission acknowledgment, depending on the complexity of the change and the quality of documentation provided.

Does the NDIS Commission need to approve ownership changes?

The Commission must be notified of material changes and may request additional information, interviews, or audits. While it is not a formal approval process, failure to notify can result in compliance action.

What happens to the registration during ownership transition?

In a share sale, registration typically continues without interruption. The Commission is notified of the new controllers. In an asset sale, the buyer may need to apply for new registration.

Can the Commission block a change of ownership?

The Commission can request additional information or conditions if the incoming owner does not meet key personnel requirements or if compliance concerns are identified. Proper preparation minimises this risk.
