Medicare Consent for NDIS SDA and SIL Visits
GP visits to NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and Supported Independent Living (SIL) houses require the same signed AoB consent as aged care. Many residents have complex needs and may lack capacity to sign themselves. GPConsent handles the capacity assessment pathway and eligible representative consent for every bulk-billed NDIS visit.

How GPConsent works in this setting
Disability-aware consent
GPConsent's capacity flag and representative consent pathway is designed for residents who may not be able to sign for themselves.
Staff exclusion enforced
NDIS support workers and house staff are blocked from signing as the assignor — the same exclusion as RACF staff.
Round-based capture
Plan rounds across multiple SDA/SIL houses and capture consent for each resident individually.
Remote signing
Send a secure SMS link to a resident's representative or guardian for remote consent signing.
Audit-ready records
Full audit trail with 2-year retention, compliant with NDIS and Medicare record-keeping requirements.
MBS rules
Setting-specific MBS information
NDIS SDA and SIL visits are billed under standard GP attendance items. Unlike RACF, the 721/723 exclusions typically do not apply. However, the per-episode consent requirement is identical: every bulk-billed visit needs a signed AoB with the reg 65C(4) data set. GPConsent ensures the correct items are available and validates all required fields.
Questions
NDIS SDA / SIL consent FAQ
Can NDIS support workers sign Medicare consent for a participant?
No. Support workers, house staff, and facility proprietors are excluded as assignors. Only the participant or their eligible representative (e.g., guardian, family member) may sign.
Are NDIS home visits treated differently from RACF visits?
Yes. NDIS SDA/SIL visits are a distinct care setting with their own MBS attendance items. The 721/723 RACF exclusions may not apply.
How does GPConsent handle guardianship for NDIS participants?
GPConsent records the representative's relationship to the participant and their authority to consent. Guardianship orders or enduring power of attorney can be noted on the consent record.
