Compliance and enforcement actions

On 2 August 2023, a suspension notice was issued to Allcare Disability Group Pty Ltd suspending the provider’s registration for a period of 30 days, effective from 14 August 2023. The suspension of registration was based on sections 73N(1)(a) and 73N(1)(d) of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (NDIS Act). This includes the grounds that, a delegate of the NDIS Commissioner, formed a reasonable belief that Allcare Disability Group has contravened the NDIS Act and is no longer suitable to provide supports or services to people with disability. The identified contraventions of the NDIS Act were:

• a failure to notify the Commissioner of a significant change in the organisation or governance arrangements of Allcare Disability Group Pty Ltd, in accordance with section 13A of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Provider Registration and Practice Standards) Rules 2018; 

• a failure to comply with an additional condition of registration imposed on Allcare Disability Group Pty Ltd’s registration requiring engagement of an approved quality auditor;

• a failure to commence a mid-term audit in accordance with section 13B of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Provider Registration and Practice Standards) Rules 2018; and providing false and misleading information in application for registration.
