The importance of choosing a registered NDIS service provider is that the company has to be registered to the NDIS and in turn, the company has to be qualified to handle and support NDIS services as defined by the Registered Service Providers Code of Conduct.

Choosing a Registered NDIS Service Provider is one of the first things that you should be looking into when it comes to having an NDIS Plan in place. If you are unsure of where to start, use these tips as a foundation to assist you on your way to selecting the right NDIS service provider for you.

Do your research

 Before you make your final decision, do a little research on the internet regarding NDIS service providers in the area where you live. The internet is a great resource in helping you to quickly gather the information that you are looking for regarding registered NDIS service providers and the products they offer. Don’t be afraid to contact the registered NDIS service provider that you are thinking about using. While this may feel scary, it is a good way to find out the level of customer service that the company has to offer.

Choose your NDIS plan provider based on their expertise

 If you are searching for a provider that is going to provide the service that you need, you will be choosing a service provider who is going to be able to ensure that you get the right NDIS service that you need. A registered NDIS service provider will be in a position to offer you advice and guidance regarding all of the documents that you will need to complete in order to register with the NDIS. The service provider may also be able to assist you in completing some of these documents for you.

Be aware of any ongoing maintenance fees

When you purchase an NDIS plan, there may be ongoing maintenance fees for the plan. These fees may change from one provider to another, but you may want to be aware that they exist and what they cover. Be aware that the maintenance fees may change depending on your needs. As the NDIS becomes more integrated into government, business, and the community, it will also become more regulated. In the past, if a service provider was not registered, then there were no rules to help protect people who were purchasing an NDIS Plan from the wrong company. 

Find a provider with a code of conduct

As a business owner or the plan provider for a business, you want to make sure that you are in a position to select a provider that you can trust. This may be easier than you thought if you know a little more about the registered NDIS service provider that you are going to choose. If a registered NDIS service provider is unwilling to listen to your concerns or provide you with the answers to your questions, it may be time to look at your options and select a provider who is more understanding and accommodating.
