Support that knows Adelaide, not just the NDIS
Caring Hearts is a registered NDIS provider based in and around Adelaide, supporting participants from the city grid out to the coast and up into the hills. Our workers know the quickest route from Norwood to the Repat, which car parks near the Adelaide Central Market are accessible, and which Glenelg café tables suit a wheelchair on a windy day.
That local knowledge sits on top of national NDIS registration — audited systems, screened workers, and pricing that always sits within the NDIS Pricing Arrangements. It means the same worker turning up on time, notes your coordinator can actually use, and a complaints pathway that goes all the way to the Commission if we ever get it wrong.
Whether you're in the northern suburbs, the southern coastal strip, the eastern suburbs near Norwood and Burnside, or up in Mount Barker and the Adelaide Hills, our rostering is built around real travel times — not a map that stops at the CBD.
What "registered" guarantees, in plain language
The NDIS Commission's requirements read like legislation. Here's what each one actually means for you and your family in Adelaide, day to day.
Independent certification against the NDIS Practice Standards, renewed on a fixed cycle by an approved auditor.
Our systems — rostering, documentation, medication handling, safeguarding — have been examined by an outsider whose job is to find the gaps.
Every worker must hold a valid NDIS Worker Screening Check before delivering any support.
Nobody enters your home in Adelaide without a national clearance — checked before their first shift and monitored continuously after it.
Registered providers must charge within the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.
Your funding stretches the way the plan intended — capped rates, transparent invoices, and no premium beyond what the price guide allows.
Serious incidents must be reported to the NDIS Commission within strict timeframes.
Problems can't be quietly buried. If something significant happens on a shift, there is a legal obligation to document it, act on it and report it.
A documented complaints process, with participants free to escalate to the Commission at any time.
You never have to "stay quiet to keep the support." Raise anything with us directly — and if we don't fix it, a regulator sits above us who will.
Supports must uphold participant choice, control, privacy and freedom from restrictive practices.
Your preferences lead every shift — who supports you, how, and when — with restrictive practices used only under authorised behaviour support plans, if at all.
Want to verify us? Every registered NDIS provider appears on the Commission's public register — or just call 1800 844 995 and ask for our registration details.

Registration you can verify

The same faces, every week
Small dedicated teams and stable rosters, so you're never re-explaining your needs to someone new.
Notes your coordinator can use
Shift documentation written against your goals and shared with your support coordinator, therapists and plan manager.
Workers based in Adelaide
Local staff mean reliable arrival times, real knowledge of your suburb, and no unnecessary travel charged to your plan.
Registered means we work with every plan type
How your plan is managed decides which providers you can use. Registration keeps every door open — here's how each arrangement works with us.
| Your plan is | What the rules say | How it works with us |
|---|---|---|
| NDIA-managedAgency-managed funding | You can only use registered NDIS providers — the NDIA pays providers directly through the portal. | We claim directly through the NDIA portal at price-guide rates. No invoices to chase, no out-of-pocket gap. |
| Plan-managedFunding via a plan manager | You can use registered or unregistered providers; your plan manager pays the invoices. | We invoice your plan manager directly, within NDIS price limits, with shift-level detail they can reconcile in minutes. |
| Self-managedYou control the funding | Maximum flexibility — you choose any provider and claim reimbursement from your plan. | Clear, itemised invoices sent straight to you, matched to the price guide so your claims are never queried. |
| Not sure?Check the front of your plan | Your plan document states how each budget is managed — different budgets can be managed differently. | Send us the plan (or just call) and we'll tell you exactly which supports we can deliver and how billing would work. |
Unsure how your plan is managed? Call 1800 844 995 — it takes two minutes to check, and it changes nothing about the support you receive.

After our last provider, I checked everything — the register, the screening, the invoices. It all held up. Six months in, the thing I notice most is smaller: the same two workers, on time, every single week.
