Transition of NDIS Services

Closing: Friday 18 April 2025, 5.00pm

Reference: S003-T00011

Council is seeking expressions of interest from NDIS providers to evidence that there are alternative providers who have capacity to support existing Council participants, and to provide information and options for participants to consider.

Following completion of a review of its Community Care services, Council is proposing to cease providing disability services by 31 October 2025. Final decision to be made on 27 May 2025 pending confirmation that other providers have capacity to provide services to Council’s participants.

A key finding of the review was that while Council provides a valued service to the Eurobodalla community, it is no longer best placed to provide these services to the community in the long-term.

The intent of this expression of interest process is to ensure that the private market has the capacity to take on Council’s NDIS participants, should Council withdraw from providing these services.

A public report will be provided to Council in May 2025, containing information from completed EOI submissions, (excluding contact names, phone numbers and emails of the person completing the form). This information may also be shared with participants and staff.

Please note Council will not be using the information provided in the EOI to select a provider, as participants have choice of provider.

There is no guarantee that participants will choose a particular provider. The EOI process is to evidence that there are alternative providers who have capacity to support existing Council participants, and to provide information and options for participants to consider.
