1. Experience and qualifications

A provider’s expertise matters. Registered nurses and trained support staff bring clinical knowledge and experience that ensure participants receive safe and effective care. Look for providers with a proven track record of delivering NDIS services.

2. Flexibility and person-centered care

Every participant is unique. Your care plan should reflect your personal goals, routines, and preferences. A provider that can adapt services to suit changing needs demonstrates commitment to your independence and wellbeing.

3. Transparent communication

Trust is built on open and honest communication. You should feel comfortable asking questions, sharing concerns, and providing feedback. A provider that listens and responds respectfully is one that values your input.

4. Cultural awareness and inclusivity

Care should respect your cultural background, language, and personal values. Providers who embrace diversity and inclusivity create a supportive environment where participants feel safe and understood.

5. Safety and compliance

Ensure your provider meets NDIS standards and maintains rigorous safety protocols. This includes staff training, emergency procedures, and safeguarding practices. Safety is a foundation of quality care.
