- Prioritise local knowledge: A provider familiar with Cranbourne East will understand local community centres, transport options and facilities, making outings and appointments smoother.
- Ask about staff consistency: For personal and in-home tasks, having the same support worker builds trust and routine. Ask potential providers about their rostering and how they match participants with workers.
