What to compare before choosing

Use these transport-specific checks when you contact providers in Geelong. 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.

Worker screening and safeguards

Providers delivering NDIS supports are responsible for the screening of their workers and for how incidents and complaints are handled.

Rates and what is included can differ between providers. Ask for a written service agreement before supports begin.
