Questions worth asking any provider
Use these on us, and on whoever else you are talking to. If a provider gets vague on any of them, that is your answer.
- Who exactly would be supporting me, and can I meet them before we start?
- What happens when my regular worker is sick or on leave?
- How much notice do you need to change or cancel a shift, and what does that cost me?
- What did your last NDIS audit find?
- How do you handle a complaint, and who hears it?
- How many of your workers live near me?
- Are there services you do not provide, that I would need someone else for?

A small suburb that gets overlooked
Doveton is small, established and easy for a large provider to treat as a rounding error next to the growth estates further east. That usually shows up as fewer worker options and less flexibility on timing rather than as an outright no. It is worth asking any provider how many people they currently support in Doveton itself, not in Casey generally.
You will not meet a stranger every week
You meet your workers before they start. If your regular worker is away, the person who covers is someone you have already met, not whoever was free that day.
On registration, honestly
Registration means we are audited against the NDIS Practice Standards, and that NDIA-managed plans can use us. Self-managed and plan-managed participants can use unregistered providers too, so registration is a floor, not a recommendation. Ask every provider you are considering what their last audit found.
Where we are
Our office is in Narre Warren, about ten minutes from Doveton.
How it works
- 1
Tell us what you need
A short form, or a phone call if you would rather. Nothing personal in the first step.
- 2
We call you back
A real conversation about what your week looks like and whether we can genuinely cover it.
- 3
Meet the worker first
No obligation. If it is not the right fit, we find someone else or tell you we are not the provider for this.
What happens to what you tell us
We use it to work out whether we can help, and nothing else. We do not sell it, and we do not pass it to anyone outside SESI without asking you first.
Straight answers
Is Doveton too small for you to bother with?
No. It is one of the closest suburbs to our office, which makes short and regular shifts easier to roster here than in places an hour away, not harder.
Do you cover Eumemmerring as well?
Yes. Tell us the street on the first call and we will confirm rather than guess.
Do you have capacity right now?
Ask us and we will tell you straight. Capacity changes week to week, and a provider who says yes to everything is telling you nothing. If we cannot cover what you need, we will say so on the first call rather than three weeks in.
Do I have to be with an NDIS registered provider?
Only if your plan is NDIA-managed. Self-managed and plan-managed participants can use unregistered providers as well. Registration means we are audited against the NDIS Practice Standards, which is a floor rather than a guarantee.
Can I change my mind after I start?
Yes. You can change providers at any time and you do not need NDIA approval to do it. The only obligation is whatever notice period is in the service agreement you signed, so read that before you sign anything.
What does it cost me?
Supports are charged to your NDIS plan at or below the NDIS price limits, so there is nothing to pay out of pocket for the support itself. Costs that everyone pays, such as your own entry ticket to an activity, are not NDIS funded.
Can I ask for a worker of a particular gender?
Yes, and it is a normal request, not an awkward one. Tell us before your first shift so it is built into rostering from the start rather than raised after a shift you were not comfortable with.
Book a callback
Two minutes. The first step asks nothing personal, and we will tell you honestly whether we are a fit.
