Telstra, who are better known for providing consumer and business tele-communication services, also have their feet in the eHealth sector.
One of their newer services is ‘MY CHOOSER‘, a service for NDIS participants, that helps them find NDIS services from providers near them.
Using the service is simple.
You enter your suburb and postcode on the front page:
You then select which support areas your NDIS plan includes :
You can then view providers of those services near you:
Telstra are currently marketing the service to providers, so that they register their services on the database. This means the number of services covered currently might be limited but will continue to grow over time.
Whilst you can use the site without creating an account, creating an account allows you to send inquiries to the different providers.
If you, or someone you care about has recently received an NDIS support plan, this service may help you find relevant supports in your local area.
