How it works
Create your free account
Sign up as a family in under 60 seconds. No credit card needed, completely free.
Describe what support you need
Tell us the type of support, your location, preferred schedule, budget range, and any specific requirements. The more detail you provide, the better matches you'll get.
Providers see your post
Your support need is shown to providers in your area who offer the services you need. Only providers with the right qualifications can respond.
Receive offers and messages
Interested providers will reach out to you through our secure messaging system. You can compare their profiles, read reviews, and choose who's right for you.
Choose your provider
Review the offers, meet providers if you'd like, and choose the one that's the best fit. You're always in control — there's no obligation to accept any offer.
What to include in your post
The more detail you provide, the better your matches will be. Here's what to think about:
- The type of support you need (daily living, personal care, therapy, etc.)
- Your suburb or area
- Preferred days and times
- Whether you need someone who speaks a specific language
- Any experience requirements (autism, cerebral palsy, etc.)
- Your NDIS funding type (self-managed, plan-managed, agency-managed)
- Approximate budget or hourly rate range
Your privacy is protected
Your personal details (name, phone, email) are never shown publicly. Providers can only contact you through our secure messaging system. You decide when and if to share your contact information directly.
Common questions
Is it free to post a support need?
Yes, completely free. Families never pay anything to use SupportPath — posting needs, searching, messaging, and comparing providers is all free.
How quickly will I get responses?
Response times depend on your area and the type of support you need. Providers in metro areas with many listed providers may respond faster. Mark your post as 'urgent' if you need support within days.
Who can see my support need?
Only providers on SupportPath can see your post. Your personal contact details are not shown — providers message you through our secure messaging system. You choose when to share your details.
Can I edit or close my post?
Yes, you can edit your support need at any time from your dashboard. You can also mark it as filled or close it when you've found the right provider.
What if I don't get any responses?
If you haven't received responses within a few days, try broadening your search area or adjusting your requirements. You can also search for providers directly and message them.
