Why this exists

A registration number tells you a provider exists. It does not tell you whether they keep a website, hold a current ABN, or have a clean regulatory record.

The NDIS Trust Index joins the Commission's register to the public business and compliance record, then scores each provider on what can actually be checked. Every figure traces to the individual provider. We publish the method, and where the data stops.

The Trust Index

How every registered provider lands.

Five bands, from Excellent to Not Operating. The bar length is each band's share of the whole register. Band colours are a trust signal, not decoration.

Our web-presence check

15,563 providers have no meaningful public presence.

This is RefDat's own measure, not a government figure: a registered provider with no website, a dead site, or a site with no disability content. It is an opinion drawn from public web checks, kept separate from the Commission's register status. How we keep the fact and the opinion apart.

12,343 have no website at allNothing listed in the register, and nothing we could find.

1,818 have a site that does not respondA listed address that fails to load on repeated checks.

1,402 have no disability contentA live site with no sign of NDIS or disability services.

Source RefDat live website verification. A web presence is one signal among several, never the whole score.

What the register does, and does not, show

58.6 per cent of registered NDIS providers are not currently flagged as active in the Commission's own data. We keep that government fact separate from our own web-presence check.

Analysis

The no-website question

Nearly half of registered providers have no website. What does the public transparency data actually show?

Analysis

Ghost providers

Thousands of registered providers have no meaningful public presence. Who are they, and how do we measure it?

Analysis

The hotspots

Some postcodes have a far higher share of no-footprint providers than others. Where are they?

Watchlist

Phoenix watch

Providers whose ABN was cancelled and later reinstated, or who have a history of multiple cancellations. Flagged for transparency only.
