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 upon registration of a provider and will update this number after being notified by a provider of a significant increase or decrease in worker numbers.
       (12) The Commissioner considers that an increase or decrease in the number of workers will be significant where:
              (a)    The decrease in workers is unexpected or of such a magnitude that the provider will be unable to provide continuity of services or supports to the participants who currently receive such services or supports from the provider; or
              (b)    The change relates to a restructuring of the provider's organisation resulting in a significant expansion or reduction in the scale of the provider.

Part 4 – Giving Commissioner notice of certain events

 8  Paragraph 13A(1)(a)- Significant effect on ability to comply with registration conditions
 (1) Paragraph 13A(1)(a) of the NDIS Provider Registration and Practice Standards Rules requires a registered NDIS provider to give the Commissioner notice of an event that significantly affects the provider's ability to comply with any of the provider's conditions of registration.
 (2) The registered NDIS provider's conditions of registration are those set out in subsection 73F(2) of the Act, the conditions (if any) imposed by the Commissioner under section 73G of the Act, and the conditions determined by the National Disability Insurance Scheme rules under section 73H of the Act.
 (3) One such condition of registration applying to all registered NDIS providers is that the person comply with all applicable standards and other requirements of the NDIS Practice Standards.
 (4) Registered NDIS providers are issued with a certificate of registration which sets out the conditions of their registration.
 (5) The Commissioner considers that the following matters are some examples of events that significantly affect a registered NDIS provider's ability to comply with the provider's conditions of registration:
              (a)      Events that prevent or extensively limit the provider's ability to effectively conduct its operations and deliver ongoing supports or services to NDIS participants;
              (b)      Events that prevent or extensively limit the provider's ability to deliver supports and services in a manner which complies with any of the applicable NDIS Practice Standards.
