The short answer
- Searching and comparing providers online should be free — you never pay to be matched.
- Compare fit: location, support type, availability, qualifications and fees — not just the name.
- Registered vs unregistered options depend on how your plan is managed.
- Shortlist a few and contact them; a listing alone does not confirm availability.
Step by step
- 1
Filter by state, suburb and support type
Narrow the directory to your location and the kind of support you need. This turns a huge list into a handful of realistic options.
- 2
Compare the things that matter
For each option, look at what they actually deliver, whether they travel to you or offer telehealth, their qualifications and any registration, and their fees. Registration is a useful signal, but fit for your goals matters more.
- 3
Build a shortlist and check availability
Pick two or three and contact them to confirm they are taking new clients and can meet your goals. Listings can go out of date, so a quick call saves time.
- 4
Decide — or let a free service shortlist for you
Choose the best fit, or use a free matching service that does the comparing and contacting for you and hands you a shortlist. Either way there is no fee to you.

Common follow-up questions
Is there a free website to compare NDIS providers?
Yes. You can search and compare NDIS providers online for free by state, suburb and support type. You should never have to pay to search a directory or to be matched with providers — the service is free to participants and families.
What should I compare between NDIS providers?
Compare fit rather than just names: location and whether they travel or offer telehealth, the specific supports they deliver, whether they are taking new clients, their qualifications and any NDIS registration, and their fees. The right provider is the one that matches your goals and availability.
Does the comparison rank providers from best to worst?
No. A neutral directory does not rank providers or push paid placements at families — that would not be in your interest. It helps you filter and compare on the facts so you can decide what fits you. The best provider is the one that suits your needs, not one that paid to appear higher.
