Your registration says 0115. What do your documents say?

A new registration class for supported independent living — 0138 — commenced on 1 July 2026. If your registration and your folder both predate it, your documents were written for a different shape of scrutiny, and nobody has told them.

The providers this page is for are not doing anything wrong. They are registered, they deliver well, and they genuinely believe the folder is fine — because it was fine, the year it was written.

The quiet problem

A folder does not know the rules moved.

Most established SIL providers hold the old registration group — 0115, "assistance with daily life tasks in a group or shared living arrangement". Many folders were built by a consultant years ago, against the instruments as they stood then. Since that day the NDIS Practice Standards have been amended, compilations of the instruments have been replaced, and a new registration class made for supported independent living has commenced. The folder kept working — in the sense that nobody opened it.

The tell, on page one

Open any policy and read the references section. If it cites an instrument by a compilation that has since been replaced — or cites the old group where the new class now applies to your SIL delivery — the document is describing a world that no longer exists. An auditor reads the references first, for exactly this reason.

What checking actually looks like

Document by document, four honest verdicts

Keep

Still right. Plenty of a good folder survives — nobody should sell you a full rewrite you do not need.

Update

Right structure, stale references or stale process. The heading survives; the content moves.

Supersede

Written for the old shape of the rules. Replace it and file the old version as history, dated.

Missing

Never existed — commonly the registers and worked evidence that the current standards expect to see in use.

Policies are not evidence. A register with rows in it is evidence; a policy on its own is a statement of intent. That distinction is where established providers get caught, precisely because the policies all exist.

Three moves this week

Read the references section of your three most-used policies. Note every instrument and compilation cited, with dates.
Check each citation against the current compilation on the Federal Register of Legislation. Superseded means the document needs the Update verdict at minimum.
Open your incident and complaints registers. If the most recent row is months old, the folder's problem is not the policies.

If you want the finished version

The Complete SIL Kit is the current-day folder, written.

109 documents in editable Word — policies, procedures, registers with worked rows, forms and guides, aligned to the current instruments. Put your business name in the header, run the keep/update/supersede pass against what you have, and keep the best of both.
