of the supports it is seeking to be registered to provide from two outlets (shopfronts): one in the Northern Territory and one in South Australia.
After Provider A has been registered, it decides to close its Northern Territory shopfront outlet and open a shopfront in Queensland.  It also decides to use a mobile outlet in South Australia instead of the shopfront.
In this example, Provider A would be required to notify the Commissioner of these changes by adding and removing outlet information held within the Commission System, including providing information about the new outlets and their geographic service areas.
       Changes to number of participants
       (7)    Subparagraph 13(1)(b)(iii) of the NDIS Provider Registration and Practice Standards Rules provides that a change in the scale of a registered NDIS provider includes a significant increase or decrease in the number of participants being provided a support or service by the provider.
       (8)    The Commissioner considers that, in assessing whether there is a significant increase or decrease in the number of participants being provided a support or service by the provider, an increase or decrease in the number of relevant participants should be assessed relative to the number of participants recorded in the Commission System as being provided with supports or services by the registered NDIS provider.
              Note:  The Commission System will record the total number of participants upon registration of a provider and will update this number after being notified by a provider of a significant increase or decrease in participant numbers.
       (9)    The Commissioner considers that an increase or decrease in the number of participants being provided a support or service by the provider will be significant:
              (a)    where the number of participants recorded in the Commission's System is 200 or greater—the increase or decrease is at least 25 per cent of that number;
              (b)    where the number of participants recorded in the Commission's System is fewer than 200—the increase or decrease is at least 50% of that number.
         Changes to number of workers
       (10)  Subparagraph 13(1)(b)(iv) of the NDIS Provider Registration and Practice Standards Rules provides that a change in the scale of the provider includes a significant increase or decrease in the number of workers providing a support or service on behalf of the provider.
       (11) The Commissioner considers that, in assessing whether there is a significant increase or decrease in the number of workers providing a support or service on behalf of the provider, an increase or decrease in the number of relevant workers should be assessed relative to the number of workers recorded in the Commission System as providing a support or service on behalf of the provider.
              Note: The Commission System will record the number of workers
