Read Time – 4mins
Need more disability support clients to fill your week, but unsure where to start?
If you’re a NDIS support worker or provider, one of the biggest challenges is finding new clients — and the right clients. Where do you look? You might already have a few regular disability support clients you love working with, but if you’re looking to grow your business or fill a few gaps in your week, it can feel hard to know where to start.
The good news? There are practical, affordable ways to get your name out there and connect with more people who need your services who could be a perfect fit for what you offer.
1. Get listed on the Earni Provider Look-up
If you only try one thing, make it this one.
Earni’s Provider Look-up is designed specifically for NDIS support workers, coordinators, and providers to showcase their services directly to people looking for support. It’s simple, affordable, and highly effective — giving you visibility to more than 5,000 potential clients.
When you create your provider listing, you can:
- Add a profile photo and short video to introduce yourself
- Share details about your services, experience, and availability
- Include your contact information so clients can reach you directly
It’s your own personalised connection page — a space where potential clients can see who you are and what you offer, helping you stand out and build trust before they even make contact.
For Earni premium members, your advert runs for 60 days and can be easily renewed. At just $27 per month, you also get access to Earni’s full suite of features to manage your business admin, clients, invoices, and expenses — everything you need to run your support business with ease. It’s much more affordable than many advertising options out there.
If you’re ready to grow your client base and attract more enquiries, this is one of the easiest ways to do it. Get Earni Here.
2. Network within your community
Word-of-mouth referrals are powerful in the NDIS space. Attend local community events, disability expos, or provider meetups. Introduce yourself to support coordinators and plan managers — many are always looking for reliable support workers to refer clients to. Jump into Facebook and LinkedIn groups too, as cross referring happens frequently in these groups.
Building genuine connections often leads to long-term, trusted client relationships.
3. Build a simple online presence
You don’t need a fancy website — a basic Facebook page or LinkedIn account can help potential clients find you. Post updates, share tips or stories from your work (while maintaining confidentiality), and highlight what makes your support unique.
Being visible online builds familiarity, and familiarity builds trust.
4. Keep your details up to date
Wherever your name appears — online listings, social pages, or directories — make sure your contact information, service area, and availability are current. It’s a simple step, but it ensures potential clients can easily reach you when they’re looking for support.
There are many ways you grow and get more disability support clients, but we hope these get you started for now. Growing can take time, but persistence pays off, so hang in there!
