Earn 10% recurring,
every month.
Share Yellowbird and earn 10% when an eligible referral takes up a non-NDIS product — a course subscription (paid every month they stay subscribed) or a standalone course — plus a fixed 5% commission on any second-hand equipment sale through your affiliate code (excluding transport costs). No cap, no expiry. Your link is active the moment you join.
Rewards apply to non-NDIS products only — courses and private-pay second-hand equipment sales. Referrals to NDIS-funded supports are recognised as a trusted-partner relationship, never paid, in line with the NDIS Code of Conduct. Any reward is paid only to you, never to the person you refer, and self-referrals aren't accepted.

Ways to earn
Three ways to be rewarded
Earn 10% on courses and a fixed 5% on second-hand equipment sales. Rewards apply only to non-NDIS products — referrals to NDIS-funded supports are recognised, never paid.
Refer Yellowbird Equip
Earn a fixed 5% commission on any second-hand equipment sale made through your affiliate code — calculated on the sale price, excluding transport costs. Our team confirms the sale is private-pay (non-NDIS-funded) before any reward is paid.
Promote a course subscription
Earn 10% of the subscription value every month, for as long as the person you referred keeps an active Yellowbird course subscription. No cap, no expiry.
Promote a standalone course
Earn 10% on every individual course your referral purchases — taken as credit toward your own courses or as cash.
All rewards are paid as accruing platform credit or as cash (paid monthly once your balance reaches $20). Course earning becomes available as Yellowbird courses launch.

Referring responsibly
How we keep it fair and compliant
Our program is built to respect the people we support and the rules of our sector. Every affiliate agrees to refer the right way.
No pressure, no over-servicing
Only ever share Yellowbird with people who'd genuinely benefit. No high-pressure tactics, no over-servicing, and never anything that limits a person's choice and control.
No inducements that sway choice
In line with the NDIS Code of Conduct and its sharp-practices guidance, we never pay for referrals to NDIS-funded supports, and never offer gifts, commissions or discounts that could influence a person's choice of provider or a professional's advice. Rewards apply only to non-NDIS products, and the person you refer is never offered anything to choose us.
Disclose and offer choice
Tell people you're a Yellowbird affiliate and that you may receive a reward, and always present genuine alternatives. Everyone stays free to choose any provider, any time.
Declare conflicts of interest
If you're in a position of influence — for example a support coordinator or provider referring people you support — declare it. Referrals to NDIS-funded supports are recognised, never paid, so there's no incentive to steer anyone's choice.
Rewards apply only to non-NDIS products — course subscriptions and standalone courses (10%) and private-pay second-hand equipment sales (fixed 5%, excluding transport costs). We never pay for referrals to NDIS-funded supports: those are recognised as a trusted-partner relationship, never paid, so no commission, gift or discount can influence a participant's choice of provider or a professional's recommendation. Any reward is paid only to you as the referring affiliate, never to the person you refer. Yellowbird may decline or adjust any reward to remain compliant with the NDIS Code of Conduct (including its sharp-practices guidance) and applicable laws. Taking part never affects anyone's right to choose their own provider.
What's rewarded, what's recognised
Rewards stay clear of NDIS-funded supports
The Affiliate Program rewards non-NDIS products only — course subscriptions and standalone courses (10%), and private-pay second-hand equipment sales (a fixed 5%, excluding transport costs). Promote Yellowbird however you like; when someone takes up one of these through your link or code, you earn.
Referrals to NDIS-funded supports are different. We never pay for them — there's no commission, gift or discount tied to anyone taking up funded supports. Instead they're recorded as recognition only and you're recognised as a trusted Yellowbird partner. If you regularly refer to our support services, our separate Referral Partner Network — no rewards, just a tracked two-way partnership — is the right home for that.
Why this stays within the rules
- The NDIS Code of Conduct restricts inducements that could sway a person's choice of provider or a professional's advice. We remove that risk entirely by never paying for any referral to NDIS-funded supports.
- Rewards apply only to non-NDIS products — ordinary commercial referrals that sit outside the NDIS funding system.
- Nothing of value is ever offered to the person you refer; any reward is paid only to you, the affiliate.
- You agree at sign-up to refer with no pressure, to disclose clearly — in your referrals and in any advertising or promotion — that you're a rewarded Yellowbird affiliate, and to offer genuine alternatives, so everyone keeps full choice and control.
- If you're not an NDIS provider (registered or unregistered) or an NDIS worker, the NDIS Code of Conduct doesn't apply to you personally — so you can refer without any risk of breaching it. We still ask every affiliate to follow the same ethical standards above. If you are a provider or worker, the program's design (no payment for NDIS-funded referrals, disclosure, genuine alternatives) keeps your participation aligned with the Code.
Recognition-only treatment and any reward are at Yellowbird's discretion. This approach is designed to align with the NDIS Code of Conduct and its sharp-practices guidance.
NDIS Code of Conduct & sharp practices
Compliance, point by point
The key Code of Conduct rules and Commission sharp-practices guidance we apply, set against exactly how the affiliate program meets each one — nothing buried in fine print.
The seven NDIS Code of Conduct rules
The rule
Respect rights, choice and control
Respect each person's freedom of expression, self-determination and decision-making.
How we comply
We only ever introduce — the person decides for themselves and stays free to choose any provider, any time. No pressure, no coercion.
The rule
Respect privacy
Respect the privacy of people with disability.
How we comply
Referrals are only made with the person's knowledge and consent. We never share someone's details without it.
The rule
Safe, competent support
Provide supports and services safely and competently, with care and skill.
How we comply
Affiliates connect people to Yellowbird's registered, quality-governed services — never to anything we can't deliver well.
The rule
Integrity, honesty and transparency
Act with integrity, honesty and transparency.
How we comply
Affiliates disclose they're a rewarded Yellowbird affiliate in their referrals and advertising. Any reward is paid only to the affiliate, never to the person referred.
The rule
Raise and act on concerns
Promptly raise and act on concerns about quality and safety.
How we comply
Affiliates and staff can flag any quality or safety concern. We act on it, and withdraw recognition where conduct risks a breach.
The rule
Prevent violence, exploitation, neglect and abuse
Take all reasonable steps to prevent and respond to harm.
How we comply
No high-pressure tactics and no targeting of people in vulnerable moments. A reward never reduces a person's funding or supports.
The rule
Prevent sexual misconduct
Take all reasonable steps to prevent and respond to sexual misconduct.
How we comply
Everyone is introduced to Yellowbird services that operate under our safeguarding and conduct policies and worker screening.
Sharp-practices guidance
The guidance
No inducements or kickbacks
Don't give, ask for or accept gifts, commissions or discounts that could sway a person's choice of provider or a professional's advice.
How we comply
We never pay for referrals to NDIS-funded supports. Rewards apply only to non-NDIS products (courses and private-pay Equip), are paid only to the affiliate, and nothing of value is ever offered to the person referred.
The guidance
No pressure or unsolicited approaches
Don't pressure, coerce or harass people into taking up supports.
How we comply
Every referral is no-pressure with no over-servicing. People come to us because they chose to — not because they were pushed.
The guidance
Disclose conflicts of interest
Declare and manage any conflict of interest.
How we comply
Affiliates declare conflicts at sign-up. Because referrals to NDIS-funded supports are never paid — only recognised — there's no financial incentive to steer the choice of anyone you support.
The guidance
Protect choice and control
Don't create dependence or limit a person's options.
How we comply
Affiliates always present genuine alternatives. The person keeps full choice and control and can change provider at any time.
The guidance
No false or misleading claims
Don't make false, misleading or unverified claims.
How we comply
Affiliates may only share accurate information, and must never imply an outcome we haven't authorised.
Based on the NDIS Code of Conduct and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission's guidance on sharp practices. Read the full Code at ndiscommission.gov.au. Recognition-only treatment and any reward are at Yellowbird's discretion to keep the program compliant.
