2025-26 NDIS Regulatory Priorities
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission has revealed its 2025-26 regulatory priorities. These priorities set the tone for audits, enforcement, and quality checks. If you run an NDIS service of any size, now is the time to align your business with these focus areas. Launchly has you covered with ready-to-use, audit-ready templates for each priority area.
The 4 Priority Areas
1. Reduction & Elimination of Regulated Restrictive Practices
Providers will be closely monitored on how and when they use restricted practices. Launchly’s Behaviour Support & Restrictive Practices Policy Templates helps you document behaviour support strategies, authorisations, and reduction plans making sure your practices and paperwork meet the Commission’s expectations.
Behaviour Support & Restrictive Practice policies:
-> For Speech Pathologists
-> For Occupational Therapists
-> For Support Workers
-> For Psychologists
-> For Physiotherapists
2. Oversight of Unregistered Providers & Sole Traders
Unregistered providers are now under stricter oversight. Launchly’s Provider Code of Conduct Policy and Participant Rights & Safeguards Policy give you the tools to demonstrate your commitment to the NDIS Code of Conduct, even if you’re not yet registered.

3. High-Risk Health Concerns
Health issues like wound care, mealtime management and medication errors are under heightened scrutiny. Launchly’s Health & Safety / Risk Register Templates help you record incidents, monitor risk, and show proactive management of participant health and safety.
4. Skilled and Capable Workforce
Staff qualifications, supervision and ongoing training will be monitored more closely than ever. Launchly’s Worker Training & Professional Development Policy and Training & Induction Register let you document staff competencies and training programs with ease.
