• Partner with an NDIS registered provider. You can team up with a qualified NDIS provider that offers various services. They will match you with a support worker who suits your needs. The best part is, they take care of paperwork such as payroll and insurance, making things easier for you.
• Use a support worker agency. Some agencies have a have a pool of support workers you can choose from, allowing you to find the right person who meets your needs. If you prefer handling things yourself, such as payments and paperwork, this option is suitable for you.
