    How to Choose Between Registered and Non-Registered Service Providers

    NDIS support has tremendously benefited the lives of disabled people. Disabled people feel privileged to be a part of NDIS. They live a comfortable life with the support of others. Under NDIS, there are both registered and non-registered providers. You can choose anyone from both the categories depending on your needs and requirements; however, both are advantageous. 

    Registered service providers: 

    When we talk about registered service providers, it means that these service providers are approved by the NDIS. These provide top-notch services as before registering them, many things are checked like whether they are financially stable or not, whether they have the right insurance and the ability to render exceptional levels of services or not. If the providers fulfill all these requirements, only then they are termed as registered. 

    Requirements for registered providers: 

    • All the stringent qualities and safety standards should be met by the provider.
    • The provider should possess adequate insurance coverage. 
    • One should always do regular audits to ensure that the registration is maintained properly. 
    • They ought to offer support to the disabled, but that should be as per the NDIS guidelines. 

    What are the benefits when one chooses an NDIS-registered service provider?
