Ndis partners in the community program

6.Consortiums and Partnerships

6.1Are consortiums eligible for the funding under the “NDIS Partners in the Community” program?

The NDIA wishes to enter into an agreement with a single lead entity and joint applications submitted on the basis of a consortium or that two or more persons or entities will be jointly and severally liable will not be considered. However, by excluding consortia there is no intention to exclude the use of subcontractors. The other members would be proposed subcontractors and listed as such in the relevant area of the application form and would need to comply with the Registered Provider of Supports provisions.

For the avoidance of doubt, Applicants cannot be a partnership, an unincorporated joint venture (or a non-entity joint venture), an individual, a sole trader, a trustee or a consortia.
