Question 1

How many NDIS participants are in Queensland?

Accepted Answer

Queensland has over 130,000 active NDIS participants and is the fastest-growing NDIS state in Australia, driven by interstate migration and population expansion across South East Queensland.

Question 2

Is Queensland a good state to buy an NDIS business?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Queensland's population growth, expanding NDIS participation, and lower commercial overheads compared to Sydney and Melbourne make it one of the most attractive states for acquisition.

Question 3

What NDIS businesses are available in Brisbane?

Accepted Answer

We list SIL providers, SDA dwellings, support coordination, plan management, multi-service providers, allied health practices, and new NDIS registrations across Brisbane and Ipswich.

Question 4

Are there NDIS businesses for sale on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast both have rapidly growing NDIS markets driven by migration. We regularly list multi-service providers, SIL businesses, and allied health practices in both regions.

Question 5

What about regional Queensland?

Accepted Answer

Regional centres including Townsville, Cairns, Toowoomba, Mackay, and Rockhampton present opportunities with growing demand, lower competition, and strong margins for operators able to recruit and retain regional staff.

Question 6

Are SDA dwellings in Queensland a sound investment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Logan have ongoing SDA demand, particularly in High Physical Support and Robust categories. SDA dwellings generate government-backed rental income and benefit from long participant waiting lists.

Question 7

What valuation multiples apply to Queensland NDIS businesses?

Accepted Answer

Queensland providers typically transact at 2.5x–4x adjusted EBITDA. Businesses in growth corridors like Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, and the Sunshine Coast often achieve premiums for their participant pipelines.

Question 8

How long does NDIS Commission approval take when buying in QLD?

Accepted Answer

Share-sale acquisitions require a change-of-controller notification within 28 days of completion. New provider registrations or material change-of-circumstances applications typically take 3–6 months for the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission to process.
