The commission's regulatory responsibilities include: provider registration and NDIS worker screening; complaints management; behavioural support oversight; compliance and enforcement activities, including investigations; and market oversight, including monitoring and mitigating market-related risks. Total entity resourcing for 2022–23 was around $115 million and it will increase to around $162.5 million with the additional funding allocated by the Australian Government in the 2023–24 Budget.
