On 21 October 2025, the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (NDIS Commission) made a significant announcement regarding JPS Audit Specialists Pty Ltd (JPS). Due to serious concerns over JPS’s conduct, including promoting its own NDIS consultancy business while auditing NDIS providers, the Commission imposed new conditions on JPS’s approval status. This decision was backed by the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JASANZ), which suspended JPS’s accreditation effective 13 October 2025. The suspension marks the first of its kind under the Approved Quality Auditor (AQA) Scheme, sending a clear message about the integrity expected from NDIS auditors.
The NDIS Commission’s action was driven by JPS’s breach of impartiality and ethical standards, which are critical for maintaining the trust and transparency necessary within the NDIS sector. The suspension has created significant disruptions for NDIS providers, especially those who had not yet started their audit applications with JPS before the suspension date. These providers now face the uncertainty of finding a new AQA to continue their audit processes.
