Question 1

How do I find an NDIS provider in Brisbane?

Accepted Answer

There are currently 85 NDIS providers listed in Brisbane, QLD. You can browse by provider type — support coordinators, plan managers, OTs, speech pathologists, and more — and filter by NDIS registration status, funding type, and availability. Each listing shows services offered, hourly rates, and whether they're taking new participants.

Question 2

Do I need an NDIS registered provider in Brisbane?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your plan management type. If your plan is NDIA-managed (agency-managed), you must use NDIS registered providers. If your plan is plan-managed or self-managed, you can use both registered and unregistered providers. Registered providers have met the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission's standards, but many excellent providers choose not to register due to the administrative burden.

Question 3

How much do NDIS providers charge in Brisbane?

Accepted Answer

NDIS providers in Brisbane charge up to the NDIS price limits set by the NDIA. Rates vary by support type — for example, standard support coordination is capped at around $65/hour, while therapy services can be up to $214/hour for a senior therapist. Some providers charge below the price limit. Check individual listings for current hourly rates.

Question 4

What's the difference between plan-managed and self-managed NDIS in QLD?

Accepted Answer

With plan management, a plan manager handles your NDIS finances — paying invoices, tracking budgets, and providing monthly statements. You can use any provider, registered or not. With self-management, you manage everything yourself — more control but more admin. Both give you more provider choice than NDIA-managed plans. Use our filters to find providers that accept your funding type in Brisbane.

Question 5

How do I choose a support coordinator in Brisbane?

Accepted Answer

A good support coordinator helps you understand your NDIS plan, find the right providers, and build your capacity over time. Look for coordinators with experience in your specific disability and support needs. Consider whether they're NDIS registered (required if NDIA-managed), their availability, and whether they offer face-to-face meetings in Brisbane or remote support. Our directory shows each coordinator's service areas and specialisations.

Question 6

Can I use telehealth NDIS services in Brisbane?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many NDIS providers in Brisbane offer telehealth for services like psychology, speech pathology, support coordination, and occupational therapy. Telehealth can be especially useful if you're in an area with limited provider choice, or if travelling to appointments is difficult. The NDIS funds telehealth at the same rates as in-person services. Use the telehealth filter to find providers offering remote services.

Question 7

How long does it take to get an NDIS provider in Brisbane?

Accepted Answer
