Groups 0128 is often confused with

• 0118 Early intervention supports for early childhood is for young children and their families. It is a certification group, so adding it moves the whole registration to certification.
• 0126 Exercise physiology and personal training is a separate group for exercise physiologists and personal trainers.
• 0110 Specialist positive behaviour support is also a certification group.

Audit: verification or certification?

0128 is a verification group. If every group you register for is a verification group, you have the lighter verification audit, usually a desktop review against the Verification Module. Add any certification group and your whole registration becomes a certification audit. See verification vs certification audits and how the NDIS audit works.
