How getting started works
Four steps from your first call to your first shift. You stay in control of who works with you.
Tell us about you
Call or send an enquiry. We ask about your goals, routine, language, culture, interests and the support you need.
Review worker profiles
We shortlist workers who fit and send you their profiles, so you can see who they are before deciding.
Meet and greet
Meet your preferred worker before supports start. If it does not feel right, we find someone else.
Supports begin
We agree your service agreement and roster, then check in regularly to make sure things are working.
Core supports: common questions
What are NDIS core supports?
Core supports are the most flexible part of an NDIS plan. They help with everyday activities, disability-related consumables, transport and taking part in your community. Funding can usually be used across the four Core categories unless your plan says otherwise.
What is the difference between core and capacity building supports?
Core supports help you with daily living now. Capacity building supports fund things that build long-term skills and independence, such as support coordination or therapy. Read more in our guide to capacity building funding.
Can I use my core budget for different supports?
Usually, yes. Core funding is flexible across Assistance with Daily Life, Transport, Consumables and Social and Community Participation, unless parts of your plan are stated or fixed. Check your plan or ask your support coordinator.
How much do core supports cost?
Prices are set by providers within national NDIS price limits. In 2026-27, standard weekday daytime support has a limit of $73.58 an hour. Evenings, weekends and public holidays have higher limits. Try our hours calculator.
