How to choose the right provider in Baldivis

• Check their service mix: Many Baldivis providers, like Quality Life For All Pty Ltd, offer a range of registered services. Consider if you need a specialist in community access alone, or a provider who can also support other goals.
• Discuss local knowledge: A good provider will understand what’s happening in Baldivis—the best parks for outings, accessible venues, and upcoming community events.
• Ask about transport: Clarify if support with travel is included in their community participation services, as this is a key factor for local outings.
• Consider your backup options: If you need a very specific type of support, remember that neighbouring suburbs like Gosnells and Rockingham often have additional providers you can explore.
• Meet the team: The right support worker match is crucial. Arrange a meet-and-greet to see if their approach and personality are a good fit for you.

How a Plan Manager helps Baldivis participants

A Plan Manager takes care of the financial administration of your NDIS plan.

This can be especially helpful when coordinating multiple supports.

There are five registered Plan Managers operating in Baldivis, and over two thousand across WA, so you have choice. Using a Plan Manager also gives you the flexibility to use both registered and unregistered NDIS providers.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a Plan Manager based outside of Baldivis?

Absolutely. Plan Management is a financial service that can be done remotely. Many participants in Baldivis use Plan Managers from elsewhere in Perth or across WA. The important thing is finding one you trust and can communicate with easily.

What's the difference between a service like Directions Disability Support Services and a Plan Manager?

Directions Disability Support Services is a support provider that delivers hands-on services like community participation.

How do I know if a provider is right for my community participation goals?

Start by having a detailed conversation about what you want to achieve—be it joining a sports club, attending art classes, or simply socialising more. Ask providers for examples of how they've helped others with similar goals. For more guidance on choosing supports, visit our NDIS Learning Hub.
