How to choose the right provider in Dubbo

• Discuss local knowledge: A provider familiar with Dubbo's layout, facilities, and community events can be a huge asset for planning outings and appointments efficiently.
• Prioritise the right fit: The relationship with your support worker is key. Ask providers about their matching process and how they ensure consistency in your care team.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a Plan Manager if my provider is in Dubbo?

Absolutely. Using a Plan Manager is independent of your support providers. Your Dubbo-based Daily Living Supports provider sends invoices to your Plan Manager, who pays them from your NDIS funds. This works seamlessly regardless of where in NSW your provider is located.

What's the difference between a Support Coordinator and a Daily Living Supports provider?

A Support Coordinator (like Ebenezer Disability Services in Dubbo) helps you understand and implement your NDIS plan, connect with providers, and navigate services. A Daily Living Supports provider delivers the hands-on, practical assistance with personal care and daily tasks. They are two distinct but often complementary roles.

Where can I learn more about using my NDIS plan?
