To get started with NDIS providers, there are a few steps you can follow:
- Register with the NDIS: To access NDIS services, you need to be registered with the NDIS. You can do this by completing an online registration form or by calling the NDIS contact centre. Once you are registered, you will be assigned an NDIS planner who will work with you to develop a plan that outlines your goals, needs and the support services you require.
- Identify your needs: Once you have an NDIS plan, you can identify the services and support you need. You can do this by talking to your planner, your doctor, or other healthcare professionals. They can help you identify the types of services that will best meet your needs.
- Research NDIS providers: Once you know the types of services you need, you can start researching NDIS providers who offer those services. You can search for providers online, ask for recommendations from your healthcare professionals or from other people in your community.
- Choose a provider: Once you have a list of potential providers, you can contact them to learn more about their services, their qualifications and their fees. It’s important to choose a provider who has the skills and experience to meet your needs and who you feel comfortable working with.
- Make a service agreement: Once you have chosen a provider, you will need to make a service agreement with them. This agreement should outline the services they will provide, the fees they will charge, and the terms and conditions of the agreement. Once you have agreed on the terms, you can start receiving services.
