I’m an NDIS service provider

Who can sign a service agreement with a provider for a client who doesn’t have capacity to do it themselves?
Where a client doesn’t have decision-making capacity to sign the agreement, the only people who can sign a service agreement are plan nominees or people who are legally authorised. These include financial administrators and guardians.

We are not able to sign service agreements that include decisions about the client’s personal life and lifestyle. In these situations, we can authorise sections of the service agreement that impact the client’s personal finances.

Will State Trustees approve NDIS invoices from service providers for clients?
No. We can’t approve NDIS invoices for clients. If you need approval of an NDIS invoice, a guardian, plan nominee or support worker will need to approve the invoice.
