How to choose the right provider in Prestons

• Check their registration and service alignment: Ensure the provider is NDIS-registered and specifically lists the therapeutic support you need, such as occupational therapy or psychology.

• Ask about their approach: Look for a provider whose philosophy aligns with your goals. Do they emphasise participant choice and control? Are their methods evidence-based?
• Meet them first: Most providers offer a no-obligation meeting. This is a chance to see if you feel comfortable and confident with their team before committing.

What's the difference between a support coordinator and a therapeutic support provider?

A therapeutic support provider, like a physiotherapist or psychologist, delivers specific, hands-on therapy services to help you reach your goals. You can find more explanations in our NDIS Learning Hub.

How do I know if a provider is right for my child's needs?

Start by checking their registered services to confirm they offer the specific therapy required. Then, arrange an introductory meeting to discuss their experience with similar participants, their approach to therapy, and how they communicate with families. Providers like Power Of Grace Care Services Pty Ltd, which offer a broad range of 20 services, often have teams with diverse expertise.
