What to look out for:<\/h4>\n

If you are a business looking to operate in the NDIS or aged care markets, there are some things to look out for.<\/p>\n

\n
• Look them up on Australian Business Register (ABR)<\/a>. If they have been operating for 12-months and claim to have helped ‘hundreds of organisations’, be wary – inflated claims of success are a big red flag.<\/li>\n
• Ask for experience and even qualifications. Consultants by trade are subject matter experts, so you are well within your rights to make sure they actually are or not.<\/li>\n
• Ask for 3 references. Speak to businesses they have helped and see what they say about the service they received.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  If you are a business and suspect you have already engaged an NDIS or Aged Care consulting service, ask yourself:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Did they provided documentation that you suspect was either inferior or copied (including policies and procedures)?<\/li>\n
  • Did they uphold their contractual arrangements in terms of delivery; that is, have they delivered what they said they would?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The things you can do:<\/h4>\n

    \n
    • It’s always best to ask the consultancy these questions. It’s always better to resolve these matters directly to understand where you stand and subsequently the consultancy’s position on the matter.<\/li>\n
    • Understand your rights under Australian Consumer Law and if appropriate, report the incident to the ACCC and make a consumer complaint<\/a>;<\/li>\n
    • Seek legal recourse through your state government court system<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
