- Confirm their responsiveness: How quickly do they process payments? A reliable turnaround is crucial for maintaining good relationships with your support workers and therapists.
- Consider proximity: While much can be done online, some participants value having a local office for initial meetings or paperwork. Check if the provider is based in Penrith or the wider Western Sydney area.
