Questions to ask providers:

  • Are you NDIS registered? What registration groups do you hold?
  • Can I meet my support worker before services start?
  • What happens if my regular worker is unavailable?
  • How do you handle complaints and feedback?
  • What are your cancellation policies and notice periods?
  • Do you provide services on weekends and public holidays?

Before services begin, your provider should give you a written service agreement covering supports, costs, cancellation terms, and dispute processes. You are not locked in and can change providers at any time.
