Question 1

How many NDIS participants are in NSW?

Accepted Answer

New South Wales has over 190,000 active NDIS participants — the largest participant base in Australia, representing roughly one-third of the national scheme.

Question 2

What types of NDIS businesses are for sale in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

We list support coordination, plan management, SIL providers, SDA properties, multi-service businesses, allied health practices, and shelf NDIS registrations across Greater Sydney and regional NSW.

Question 3

Is Sydney a good market for NDIS business acquisitions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sydney offers the highest participant density in Australia, premium plan values, and consistent demand across all NDIS service streams. Established businesses with clean compliance histories typically attract competitive offers.

Question 4

Can I buy an NDIS business in regional NSW?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Regional centres like Newcastle, Wollongong, the Central Coast, Illawarra, Hunter Valley, and Western NSW all show growing NDIS demand with materially less provider competition than Sydney metro.

Question 5

What multiples do NSW NDIS businesses typically sell for?

Accepted Answer

Most established NSW providers transact between 2.5x and 4.5x adjusted EBITDA. SIL and SDA assets, businesses with strong long-term participant retention, and registered providers with clean audit histories command the upper end of that range.

Question 6

How is NDIS registration transferred when buying a business in NSW?

Accepted Answer

Registration sits with the legal entity, so most NSW transactions are structured as share or unit sales to preserve the NDIS provider number. Asset sales require a new application to the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, which can take 3–6 months.

Question 7

What due diligence is critical for NSW NDIS acquisitions?

Accepted Answer

Buyers should verify NDIS Commission audit status, SCHADS Award compliance, worker screening clearances, participant service agreements, plan-managed vs self-managed revenue mix, and any open complaints or reportable incidents.

Question 8

Are SDA properties in Sydney a good investment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sydney SDA dwellings — particularly High Physical Support and Robust categories in Western Sydney — generate government-backed rental income and have long waiting lists, making them resilient long-term assets.
