What to Do When an NDIS Provider Exits
Provider exits are becoming more common across Australia, especially in regional and remote communities, and they can be stressful for participants left without essential supports. First2Care is here to help you navigate the transition smoothly and ensure your plan continues without interruption.
Step 1: Confirm the Provider Exit
Check whether the provider is:
-
Ceasing all NDIS services
-
Exiting only certain regions
-
Pausing services temporarily​
​
We can help verify this and clarify what happens next. Give us a call.
Step 2: Review Your Current Service Bookings
We help assess and note:
-
Upcoming appointments
-
Unused funds
-
Whether new service agreements are required
-
Any existing Service Period obligations
​
This ensures you stay compliant while transitioning.
Step 3: Find Replacement Supports Quickly
Local advocates can assist with:
-
Identifying available local providers
-
Coordinating short-term or emergency supports
-
Connecting you with telehealth or mobile services
-
Preventing service gaps for essential supports
​
Participants in regional areas especially benefit from our provider network and local insights. Often times connecting with the right people is the key, don't hesitate to call, we may be able to help you with these vital connections.
