National Disability Insurance Scheme Providers in Australia Industry Data and Analysis
Revenue for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Providers industry has grown significantly in recent years. Driven by consistent growth in government funding for the scheme, revenue has grown at an annualised 9.3% over the five years through the end of 2025-26. Many participants receive NDIS support alongside other forms of assistance like the Disability Support Pension, while others use the scheme as their first form of structured support. The 2025-26 period has seen slower revenue growth as the Foundational Supports changes shift some participants away from NDIS funding, redirecting revenue for some providers outside of the industry. The 2025-26 financial year coincided with a 0.7% increase in revenue, taking the total figure to $45.0 billion.A considerable portion of recent industry growth has originated from higher average support budgets and the expansion of the maximum billable rate for different services within the scheme. Providers that specialise in services for autism, psychosocial disability and developmental delay have captured growing revenue shares, which aligns with the swelling participant numbers in these categories. The intellectual disability segment, driven by these conditions, accounts for over 60.0% of market activity.Client-facing online platforms like Hireup and Mable continue enabling participants to manage their support providers more easily, granting them a level of autonomy they may have previously struggled to find. These platforms allow individual operators to divert revenue from the industry's larger players and towards owner-operators.Over the next five years, revenue is on track to grow slowly as Federal Government legislation attempts to rein in the rapid growth the scheme exhibited over its first decade. Expanding at an annualised 2.9% over the five years through the end of 2030-31, reaching $51.8 billion. This slower growth will place additional pressure on profit margins, which by design should not exceed 2.0%. Rising wage costs and reduced rural loading benefits have exacerbated margin issues for an industry where negative profitability is commonplace among providers.
