What is an NDIS Service Agreement?

An NDIS Service Agreement is a crucial written document that establishes a formal understanding between an NDIS participant (or their representative) and a registered NDIS service provider.

This agreement serves as a blueprint, outlining the terms, responsibilities, and expectations governing the provision of services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Who Initiates and Utilises NDIS Service Agreements?

These agreements are initiated by NDIS participants or their representatives and are utilised by registered NDIS service providers like Total Health Choice.
