The national rules on registration, logos and screening are set out on our Brisbane NDIS provider page, which covers Queensland as a whole, including the compulsory registration of supported independent living providers from 1 July 2026. This page sticks to what changes when your clients are in Moreton Bay.
The NDIA treats the City of Moreton Bay as its Caboolture/Strathpine service district, and on 30 June 2026 it had 19,140 participants. That's more than the Gold Coast's 17,168, even though the ABS estimated the Gold Coast's population at 691,230 in June 2025 against Moreton Bay's 532,445, and it's up from 12,085 participants four years earlier. Carers QLD delivers local area coordination for people aged 9 to 64, and The Benevolent Society is the early childhood partner for younger children.
The NDIA's statistical-area figures show where those participants live. On 30 June 2026 the Caboolture and Caboolture – South areas had 3,215 between them, North Lakes – Mango Hill 1,337, Deception Bay 1,203 and Dakabin – Kallangur 1,121. The five statistical areas on the Redcliffe peninsula had 2,434 between them, Bribie Island 509 and Beachmere – Sandstone Point 571. A provider based on the peninsula that also reaches Caboolture should say so prominently, because that's where the largest numbers are.
Queensland has two kinds of disability worker clearance. An NDIS worker screening clearance is needed for risk-assessed roles with a registered provider, and a separate Queensland disability worker screening clearance applies to workers newly engaged by state-funded disability services. Queensland's worker screening unit also applies a "no card, no start" rule: workers in risk-assessed roles with a registered provider, or delivering disability services for a state-funded provider, need a valid clearance before they begin. Where an unregistered provider or self-managing participant asks a worker to be screened, the worker can start once the application is lodged, unless the provider or participant prefers them to wait for the clearance. Your careers page should reflect whichever applies to you.
We're an Adelaide team and we work with Moreton Bay providers by phone and email. You tell us your supports, the parts of the region you cover and your registration details, we build the draft, and you pay once you've approved it.
