What 0115 covers
Daily living support in group and shared living arrangements other than Supported Independent Living: short-term accommodation (respite), medium-term accommodation, host family arrangements, support in an individual living arrangement for a person with complex needs, unplanned onsite shared supports in SDA, and the support model for individualised living options.
The NDIS Support Catalogue 2026-27 lists 44 support items under 0115, funded from Home and Living, Assistance with Daily Life budgets. Leaving out the time-of-day, rate-level and claim-type variants, the supports are:
- Assistance In Living Arrangements (Host Family/Alternative Family Situation)
- Assistance In A Shared Living Arrangement
- Assistance In Individual Living Arrangement For Person With Complex Needs
- Assistance With Daily Life Tasks Provided In Residential Aged Care Facility
- Unplanned onsite shared supports in Specialist Disability Accommodation
- Medium Term Accommodation
- Short Term Accommodation
- Short Term Accommodation - Participant Accommodation
- Short Term Accommodation - Support Worker Accommodation
- Intensive and Complex Behaviour Supports
- Individualised Living Options - Support Model
Supported Independent Living moved to its own group, 0138, on 1 July 2026. The 2026-27 catalogue still lists some SIL items under 0115, but the NDIA says SIL supports delivered from 1 July 2026 are claimed under 0138.
Who registers for 0115
Respite and short-term accommodation providers, medium-term accommodation providers and individualised living option providers.
Groups 0115 is often confused with
- 0138 Assistance with supported independent living is the separate group for SIL, which needs its own registration.
- 0131 Specialist disability accommodation is the SDA housing itself.
Audit: verification or certification?
0115 is a certification group. You are audited against the NDIS Practice Standards Core Module, in two stages, with an onsite visit, interviews with workers and participants, and a mid-term audit. Your audit type is set by the highest of your groups, so registering for 0115 makes your whole registration a certification audit. See verification vs certification audits, how the NDIS audit works and what a certification audit costs.
If you use regulated restrictive practices, or carry out a behaviour support plan that includes them, you must be registered and you are also assessed against the Implementing Behaviour Support Plans Module. Our guide to Module 2A explains what that involves.
Groups often registered alongside 0115
- 0107 Assistance with daily personal activities (certification)
- 0125 Participation in community, social and civic activities (certification)
- 0136 Group and centre-based activities (certification)
- 0104 High intensity daily personal activities (certification)
Only register for the groups you actually deliver: every extra group adds to what the auditor checks. Our guide to choosing your NDIS registration groups walks through it.
Documents you need for 0115
A certification audit checks your policies, procedures and records against the Core Module: participant rights, governance and operational management, how you deliver supports, and the environment you deliver them in. The auditor then looks for evidence you follow them, through your records and interviews.
If you help participants with medication or mealtimes, you also need medication and mealtime management policies and records.
The Bluetail registration pack has 82 editable documents pre-filled with your business details. See the documents you need for NDIS registration and the NDIS provider registration checklist.

Is NDIS registration group 0115 verification or certification?
0115 (Assistance with daily life tasks in a group or shared living arrangement) is a certification group, so registering for it means a certification audit against the NDIS Practice Standards Core Module. Because your audit type is set by the highest of your groups, adding 0115 makes your whole registration a certification audit.
Do I need to be NDIS registered to provide assistance with daily life tasks in a group or shared living arrangement?
Not for every participant. Unregistered providers can deliver 0115 supports to self-managed and plan-managed participants. You need to be registered to be paid from NDIA-managed funding. You also need to be registered if you use regulated restrictive practices or implement a behaviour support plan that includes them.
