The NDIS Commission has released draft Supported Independent Living (SIL) Practice Standards as part of the broader move toward mandatory SIL registration from 1 July 2026.

Although the standards are still in draft, they do provide a useful signal of where regulatory expectations are heading.

What you say, write, or include in your agreements can expose your business to complaints, disputes or regulatory action.

With proposed NDIS reforms on the horizon, providers should expect continued focus on documentation, participant protections, transparency and accountability.

Now is the time to review your agreements and processes.

Clients have always second-guessed their lawyers. First, it was friends. Then Google. Now itโ€™s AI.

For mid-sized enterprises, that shift creates real risk.

Donโ€™t expect a different outcome in Australia.

The commercial reality:
โ€ข AI platforms arenโ€™t bound by legal privilege
โ€ข Their terms often permit disclosure
โ€ข Once confidentiality is lost, itโ€™s gone

AI is not a safe sounding board for legal issues. Engage your lawyers early, not after the fact. Because once privilege is lost, it canโ€™t be recovered.
