How to choose the right provider in South Hurstville

• Check their service mix: Look for providers whose other registered services, like Daily Living or Community Participation, align with your broader goals. This can indicate a more holistic approach to your employment journey.
• Discuss local knowledge: Ask how well they know the South Hurstville area and its employment landscape. A provider familiar with local transport, businesses, and community hubs can offer more practical support.
• Clarify their 'find and keep' process: Understand exactly how they help you search for work and what kind of in-work support they provide after you’ve been placed. A good provider will have a plan for both.
• Consider proximity: While many supports can be delivered flexibly, having a provider base nearby can be convenient for in-person meetings and local networking events.
• Know your fallback options: With one local specialist listed, it's wise to also look at providers in neighbouring suburbs like Liverpool, Blacktown, or Bankstown, which have a higher concentration of Employment Support services and may be accessible.

How a Plan Manager helps South Hurstville participants

While there are currently no registered Plan Managers operating specifically within South Hurstville, using one can be a significant help for participants accessing Employment Support. A Plan Manager takes care of paying your service providers, tracking your NDIS budget, and handling all the related paperwork. This means you can focus your energy on your employment goals, rather than on invoices and payment claims.

Plan Management also offers choice and control, allowing you to use both registered and unregistered NDIS providers. This can be particularly useful if you find a great local employment coach or mentor who isn't a registered NDIS provider. You can talk to a Plan Manager via the panel on this page, or learn more about Plan Management.
