Check your current service agreement

Look for notice periods, cancellation terms and any supports already booked. A new provider can help you understand what needs to happen next.

Plan the handover

Support needs, risk notes, communication preferences and routines should move cleanly so the participant does not need to start from scratch.

Do not settle for silence

Provider communication matters. You should know who to contact, what is happening next and when support will start.

Common questions

Straight answers before you make a call, send a referral or change providers.

Can I switch providers at any time?

Generally, yes, but check your service agreement notice period and any committed supports.

Will there be a gap in support?

There does not have to be. A careful transition plan helps avoid gaps.
