For providers: Connecting with NDIS participants

At My Plan Manager, we like to keep choice and control firmly in the hands of our clients, so we don't usually recommend providers. But we do help clients to find all the information they need to make their own decisions about providers.

We also get asked by providers how they can best reach National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants to raise awareness of their businesses.

So we've put together a list of the NDIS provider directories where you might like to list your business so that NDIS participants can find you and learn about your services. Most of these offer a free listing option and are available to both registered and non-registered providers.

Clickability offers free over the phone or email support to help people with a disability find providers in their local area. They feature ratings and reviews from people who actually use the services. People with disability, and their carers, can discover new services, connect with their peers, and provide feedback that others can then use to choose a service.

Disability Support Guide offers their free online directory Australia-wide. They are also a print and online publication about all things NDIS with a wealth of information. They offer multiple advertising options for providers with a wide audience reach through their printed publication DPS Guide to Disability Support and online through their news and informational arm, TalkingDisability.com.au.

Karista is a service that assesses client needs and helps match them with their ideal providers by comparing their services. Karista provides a number of pricing options for different levels of promotion, and a profile on their website will get you a detailed company listing showcasing locations and services. Karista lets clients leave reviews and can drive referrals to your business to attract new customers in a competitive market.

MyCareSpace is an easy-to-use search engine which lists both registered and unregistered providers. They can also assist people to find relevant services. They have nearly 50,000 people utilising their platform each month and offer multiple packages to suit the needs of all types and sizes of provider.

My Provider Directory is a straightforward directory with the ability to search by location for trusted top-rated NDIS Providers. The online directory has five tiers of paid sponsorship depending on the level of promotion you're looking for.

FindMyNDIS is an accessible search engine with a range of different support services by location, listing both registered and unregistered providers. The website provides services visible to participants so that they are able to make an informed decision about which provider they want to choose. They will also generate leads for you for free or there are three levels of paid sponsorship to reach more participants.
