Understanding NDIS Provider Services

Whether you’re new to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) or actively exploring supports for yourself or a loved one, here’s what to know before reaching out to any registered NDIS provider on NDISFinder.

📋 Who Can Access NDIS Services?

To access NDIS-funded services, you must:

• Be aged between 9 and 65 years
• Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa
• Have a permanent and significant disability that affects your daily living and requires support

If you're unsure whether you're eligible, check your status on the NDIS eligibility page.

🧭 What to Expect from a Registered NDIS Provider

All registered NDIS providers listed on NDISFinder have met the quality and safety standards outlined by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. Depending on the services offered, providers may assist you with:

• Daily personal activities
• Household tasks
• Mobility equipment or home modifications
• Social and community participation
• Therapy and early childhood supports

You can also ask your provider about service agreements, support plan goals, or how they coordinate with your existing support team.

✅ Preparing to Contact a Provider

Before reaching out, we recommend having the following handy:

• Your NDIS number or plan details
• A list of goals from your NDIS plan
• The type of support or service you are seeking
• Preferred days/times for service delivery
• Any communication preferences (e.g. interpreter needs)

Providers appreciate clarity and transparency. The more prepared you are, the easier it will be to find the right match for your support needs.

💡Tips for Choosing the Right Provider

• Check reviews or ratings, if available
• Look for specialties that match your goals (e.g. mental health, physiotherapy, early intervention)
• Ask questions about their experience with participants similar to your situation
• Discuss availability and service flexibility
• Compare a few options before committing to a service agreement

🔐 Your Rights & Safeguards

As an NDIS participant, you have the right to:

• Be treated with dignity and respect
• Make informed choices about your care
• Access providers that are safe, inclusive and culturally sensitive

If you ever feel concerned or unsafe, you can contact the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission at 1800 035 544.
