Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be an NDIS-registered provider to join?
We work with both NDIS-registered providers and professionals who deliver services to self-managed or plan-managed participants, which does not always require formal NDIS registration. Let us know your current status when you get in touch and we can advise on next steps.
How does Puzzle to Paddock connect me with families?
We maintain relationships with families seeking allied health support and refer suitable professionals based on location, discipline, and the participant's specific needs and goals.
Can I offer telehealth sessions through Puzzle to Paddock?
Yes, many families we work with are open to or specifically seeking telehealth support, particularly those in regional or remote areas. Let us know if telehealth is part of your service offering.
What checks do I need to have in place?
At minimum, we ask for evidence of your professional qualification, current registration, an NDIS Worker Screening Check (or evidence you're eligible to obtain one), and current professional indemnity insurance. Specific requirements can vary by discipline and by state.
Is there a cost to register as a professional?
Get in touch with our team directly for current details on registration and any associated arrangements, as this can vary depending on the type of engagement.
