What to compare before choosing
Use these transport-specific checks when you contact providers in Ballarat. Confirm each answer directly: a directory listing does not prove current capacity.
Registration and qualifications
Check that the provider, and the worker who will attend, hold the registration and qualifications the support requires.
Ask: Who will deliver my supports, and what registration and qualifications do they hold?
Worker screening and safeguards
Providers delivering NDIS supports are responsible for the screening of their workers and for how incidents and complaints are handled.
Ask: How do you screen your workers, and how do you handle incidents or complaints?
Availability and continuity
A directory listing does not prove current capacity. Ask about start dates, rostering and cover when a regular worker is unavailable.
Ask: When could you start, and what happens if my regular worker is away?
Pricing and funding
Rates and what is included can differ between providers. Ask for a written service agreement before supports begin.
Ask: What are your rates, what is included, and do you accept my funding type?

Reading about Transport
