Further information

The Business Analysis Tool has been developed to assist National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) providers to be flexible and thrive in the context of the NDIS framework.

It is based on three previous National Disability Services (NDS) resources, with updates to reflect the current and future NDIS environment.

The background resources are:

• NDS’s Development Toolkit for Non-Government Providers (2015) – Information about transitioning to the NDIS
• NDS’s Business Processes Guide (2017) – Information about the systems and processes in NDIS-ready organisations
• NDS’s Financial Ratios (2017) – Tools to promote financial performance and sustainability

This document is also a companion resource with two new NDS guides:

• NDS’s Quality and Safeguards in the NDIS – Information about complying with the requirements of the NDIS Commission
• NDS’s People with Disability and Supported Decision-Making – Information about supporting the rights of people with disabilities to make their own decision

NDS hopes that these three new documents provide practical and thought-provoking information for NDIS providers.
