Change
of Ownership
A change of ownership within an NDIS business is a major structural event that requires careful planning, regulatory awareness, and precise execution. Whether ownership is changing due to a full sale, partial sale, succession planning, internal restructuring, or the introduction of new shareholders or directors, the process must comply with NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements.
At NDIS Business Sales, we specialise in managing ownership transitions for NDIS businesses across Australia. Our role is to ensure the transition is compliant, commercially sound, and operationally seamless—protecting your registration, funding, staff, and participant outcomes throughout the process.
What Is a Change of Ownership in an NDIS Business?
A change of ownership occurs when control of an NDIS-registered business is transferred or altered.
This may involve:
- Selling all or part of an NDIS business for sale
- Transferring shares or assets
- Appointing or removing directors or shareholders
- Business mergers or restructures
- Family succession or partner exits
Unlike standard business ownership changes, NDIS businesses must also meet strict governance, compliance, and audit obligations during the transition.
Why Proper Management Is Critical
Poorly handled ownership changes can lead to:
- Delays or issues with the NDIS Commission
- Registration suspension or additional audits
- Disruption to participants and staff
- Buyer hesitation or failed transactions
- Loss of business value during an NDIS business sale
A structured and compliant approach protects both the outgoing owner and the incoming buyer while maintaining business stability.
