Is NDIS support work GST-free?

Usually yes — support for a participant with a plan in effect, that is reasonable and necessary, provided under a written service agreement, and listed in the GST-free NDIS supports determination, is GST-free. You don't add 10% GST. But GST-free income still counts toward the $75,000 GST-registration threshold.

Do NDIS support workers pay income tax?

Yes. GST-free status only affects GST. All support-work income is assessable business income taxed at your marginal rate; you claim work-related deductions like travel, training, checks and insurance.

Do I need an ABN as an NDIS support worker?

Yes — platforms like Mable require an ABN and you need it to invoice properly. It's free at abr.gov.au; choose 'Individual (sole trader)'.

Independent disability support work via Mable, HireUp, or directly with NDIS participants — as a sole trader.

⚠️ ATO Note: Most NDIS supports are GST-FREE, so you don't add GST — but GST-free income still counts toward the $75,000 registration threshold, and all support income is taxable business income.

Before NDIS Support Worker pays you: you need an Australian Business Number (ABN). Registration is free at abr.gov.au and takes about 10 minutes — without one, platforms must withhold 47% as “no-ABN withholding.” You only register for GST once turnover passes $75,000/year — below that, no GST and no BAS.
