Frequently Asked Questions About NDIS Transition Support in Adelaide

How much does NDIS transition support cost?

NDIS transition support costs are set by government price limits. For 2025-26, support worker rates range from $33.26-$37.42 per hour for qualified workers, with a 3.95% increase from the previous year. Specialized transition coordination may have different rates based on qualifications and complexity. Your NDIS plan covers these costs – you don’t pay out-of-pocket when using registered providers within price limits.

How long does transition support last?

Transition support duration varies based on your individual needs and goals. Some transitions may require intensive support for 3-6 months, while others need ongoing guidance for 12-24 months. We work with you to determine the right level and duration of support for your specific transition.

What if my transition doesn’t go as planned?

Transitions rarely go exactly as planned, and that’s perfectly normal. Our support workers are experienced in helping people adapt their plans, overcome unexpected challenges, and find alternative pathways to their goals. We provide crisis support and plan adjustments as needed.

What if I need help with transitions in Adelaide Hills or outer suburbs?

We provide full coverage across all Adelaide areas including Adelaide Hills, northern suburbs, southern regions, and coastal areas. Our workers have local knowledge of resources and opportunities in each area to support successful transitions.

What transition services are covered by NDIS?

NDIS transition support includes assistance with major life changes such as moving from school to work or further education, transitioning to independent living, changing accommodation types, career changes, and family transitions. Services include transition planning, skills development, practical support, and ongoing guidance throughout your transition period.

Can I get help with multiple transitions at once?

Yes! Life often involves multiple overlapping transitions. Our team can help you manage several changes simultaneously, prioritizing the most important aspects and ensuring you don’t feel overwhelmed by competing demands.

Do you provide transition support outside business hours?

Yes! Major life transitions don’t follow business hours. We offer flexible scheduling including evening and weekend appointments, emergency support for transition crises, and ongoing communication outside standard hours when needed.

Can my family be involved in my transition planning?

Absolutely! Family involvement can be valuable for many transitions, while maintaining your independence and choice. We work with you to determine the right level of family involvement and help facilitate healthy family communication during major changes.
