Finding a support worker

A support worker is someone you pay to help take care of you.

There are lots of organisations that can provide you with a support worker.

It’s important to find one that suits your needs.

The NDIS lets you choose your own support worker.

There are different ways to find a support worker. They include:

• asking someone you know, like a friend or your doctor
• searching online at places like the Hireup website or the CareSeekers website
• looking on the NDIS website
• using the Australian Government Disability Advocacy Finder.

You can also download the Western Australia’s Individualised Services: Engaging Your Own Supports resources to learn more about finding a support worker.
