NDIS Registration Group Codes Explained (0101 to 0138)

If you need NDIS registration group codes decoded so you can match a plan to the right supports, this guide walks through the twelve registration groups Supporting Communities Australia (SCA) is registered to deliver, plus the separate 0110 Specialist Positive Behaviour Support code that covers Positive Behaviour Support (PBS). Registration group codes are the four digit reference numbers the NDIA uses to categorise supports. Providers can only invoice against groups they are registered for, and plan managers reject invoices that use the wrong code. Understanding which code funds what is what turns a plan on paper into supports that actually run.

What are NDIS registration group codes?

Every NDIS support sits inside a registration group with its own four digit code. Some groups belong to Core Supports, others to Capacity Building, and a few sit under Capital or Specialist Disability Accommodation. Each group has a set of price limits set in the NDIS Pricing Schedule, and each has rules about who can deliver the support and what documentation is required.

Registered NDIS providers are audited against the groups they are registered under. SCA is a registered NDIS provider, and our current registration (Certificate 4-KQ545PP, valid 2025 to 2028) covers twelve groups. The full list is in the table below.

Each of these is explained in more detail below.

How does each registration group work in practice?

0101 Assistance with Accommodation and Tenancy Obligations. Support for a young person to secure and maintain their own tenancy. That might include help searching for a property, attending inspections, understanding a lease, budgeting for rent, and communicating with a landlord or agent. Common for young people transitioning out of care or family placement toward independent living.

0106 Assistance with Life Stage, Transition and Support Arrangements. Funds structured support around major life transitions. For young people aged 12 to 20 that usually means the move out of school, out of care, or into shared living. Support workers under 0106 help plan and execute the transition step by step.

0107 Assistance with Daily Personal Activities. Personal care and daily routines: showering, dressing, medication prompting, morning and evening routines. Delivered one to one by a support worker.

0108 Assistance with Travel and Transport Arrangements. Getting the young person to and from appointments, school, work, and community activities. Includes training in public transport skills where the young person is building toward independence.

0115 Assistance with Daily Life Tasks in a Group or Shared Living Arrangement. For young people in group or shared living settings, this covers the daily life support inside that setting: meal times, shared chores, group activity time, and the support hours structured around a shared home.

0116 Innovative Community Participation. Non standard, creative, or wellbeing focused participation. Music, art, cultural activities, outdoor programmes, and other community based supports that build capacity while genuinely engaging the young person. Life skills focused mentoring can also sit here where the goal fits.

0117 Development of Daily Living and Life Skills. The workhorse capacity building group for life skills work. Cooking, budgeting, self care, self advocacy, communication, and daily independence skills. Where mentoring is explicitly about teaching daily living skills, 0117 is often the right home.

0120 Household Tasks. Cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, and other household support delivered in the young person’s home. Practical, hands on, often woven into life skills teaching.

0125 Participate in Community, Social and Civic Activities. The most common registration group for one to one mentoring and community access work. Sessions in the community, social skills built through real activities, participation in local groups, sport, culture, and civic life. This is the core group SCA delivers mentoring under.

0131 Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). Purpose built accommodation for eligible participants with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. SDA is highly regulated and always stated funding.

0136 Group and Centre Based Activities. Covers group programmes for skill building, social connection, and community participation. Where a young person is attending a structured group programme like a social skills group, life skills programme, or group community access, 0136 is the code.

0138 Supported Independent Living (SIL). Funds ongoing daily support for young people living in shared or supported living arrangements. This is distinct from 0136 group activities. If a young person needs overnight support, help with morning routines, or in-home skill support inside a shared living context, 0138 is where the funding sits.

What about Positive Behaviour Support and code 0110?

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) sits under registration group 0110 Specialist Positive Behaviour Support. In a young person’s plan it is funded from the Behaviour Support budget (Improved Relationships on older plans). This is the code that covers behaviour support assessment, behaviour support plan development, and specialist behaviour intervention delivered by an NDIS behaviour support practitioner.

At SCA, behaviour support is delivered by our founder, Yosmerys Aparicio Cuencas, an NDIS behaviour support practitioner who works only with young people aged 12 to 20. See our Positive Behaviour Support guide for how PBS works in practice.

What are common mistakes with registration group codes?

The most common mistake is invoicing a support under the wrong group. Mentoring should sit under 0125 where the focus is community and social participation, or under 0117 where the focus is life skills teaching. Coding it against a group the provider is not registered for is an audit risk.

The second common mistake is confusing Core registration groups with Capacity Building groups. 0107, 0108, 0115, 0120, 0136, and 0138 are Core supports. 0106, 0116, 0117, and 0125 sit within Capacity Building. Money in Capacity Building categories is usually stated and cannot be moved to Core without a plan variation. See our stated versus flexible funding guide for how to check what can move where.

The third mistake is treating the code as the whole story. The code sets the price limit and the audit trail. The quality of the work depends on the skill, the training, and the consistency of the person delivering it.

Action steps for reading your plan

Open the NDIS plan and find each funded line. Match the four digit code next to each line to the table above. Note which lines are stated and which are flexible. Ask the support coordinator or plan manager to confirm which codes each provider is registered under and which codes they invoice against. If there is a mismatch, raise it early.

If you would like help matching funding to real supports for a young person aged 12 to 20 in Western or South West Sydney, Supporting Communities Australia can walk you through it.

Frequently asked questions

Can a provider invoice against a code they are not registered for? No. Registered providers can only invoice against groups they hold registration for. Unregistered providers can deliver most supports but cannot deliver Specialist Behaviour Support or supports that require registration by law.

What is the difference between 0117 and 0125 for mentoring? 0117 Development of Daily Living and Life Skills is where mentoring focused on explicit skill teaching sits. 0125 Participate in Community, Social and Civic Activities is where community based mentoring and social participation sits. Many mentoring programmes use both.

What is the difference between 0136 and 0138? 0136 Group and Centre Based Activities covers group programmes, skill building sessions, and structured community access. 0138 Supported Independent Living (SIL) is the code for ongoing daily support inside a shared living arrangement. Different structure, different code.

Does SCA offer Positive Behaviour Support? Yes. Behaviour support is delivered by SCA’s founder, Yosmerys Aparicio Cuencas, an NDIS behaviour support practitioner. See our Positive Behaviour Support page.

Where do I find current price limits for each code? Search for the “NDIS Pricing Schedule” on the NDIS website. From 2026 to 2027 it replaced the Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits document, and it is updated each July.
