Understanding support worker under the NDIS
Support workers provide direct, hands-on assistance with daily living, community participation, and personal care. Their work ranges from helping with household tasks, meal preparation, and personal hygiene to accompanying participants to appointments, social outings, and employment.
The NDIS sets maximum hourly rates for support workers based on the time of service. For the 2025–26 period, the standard weekday rate is $73.58 per hour, with loadings for less sociable hours: $81.07 for weekday evenings, $103.54 for Saturdays, $133.50 for Sundays, and $163.46 for public holidays. These rates cover a standard one-to-one support arrangement. Group-based supports (such as community access programs with multiple participants) are funded at lower per-participant rates.
Support workers must hold a valid NDIS Worker Screening Check, and many providers require additional qualifications such as a Certificate III in Individual Support or Disability. First aid certification is also standard. When choosing a support worker, ask about their experience with your specific support needs, their availability for regular shifts, and what happens when they’re sick or on leave — good providers have backup arrangements to avoid gaps in support.
Support workers can drive participants as part of their duties, but vehicle-related costs must be agreed in your service agreement. Travel time between participants is billable at NDIS rates, and providers must distinguish between productive travel (travelling with you) and non-productive travel (getting to you).
Continuity of support matters enormously. Having the same regular worker builds trust and understanding, which directly affects the quality of support. Ask potential providers how they approach worker matching and what their staff turnover rate looks like. High turnover is common in disability support but better providers invest in their workforce to retain good staff.
