Get listed & discovered
Independent support workers get a free, verified profile on Novida that participants, families and providers find by suburb, skills and availability. Your profile appears on local suburb pages, shows your NDIS Worker Screening, WWCC and First Aid checks, and there is no card required to list.
If you take NDIS participants as clients directly — a sole trader with your own ABN — the hardest part is being found. Novida gives you a free, verified profile in a directory that participants, families and providers actually search, so the right people can discover you without an agency in the middle.
Your profile leads with what matters before someone reaches out: the suburbs you cover, your skills and specialties, when you are available, and the verified checks that let a family trust you — NDIS Worker Screening, a Working With Children Check and First Aid. It also appears on Novida’s local suburb pages, so you turn up when someone searches for support in your area.
Listing is genuinely free — there is no card to enter and no catch. You build your profile once and stay discoverable, and when you are ready to receive direct enquiries and run the business side, you can upgrade to Solo or Pro. Until then, being listed and found costs you nothing.

Frequently asked questions
Does it cost anything to be listed?
No. A verified independent-worker profile is free — there is no card to enter and no fee to list. You only pay if you upgrade to Solo or Pro to receive direct enquiries and run your business.
How is this different from applying for jobs?
Applying for jobs means working shifts for an agency or provider. An independent-worker profile is for sole traders with an ABN who take NDIS participants as their own clients directly — so participants find and enquire with you, not an employer.
What checks are shown on my profile?
Your profile can display your NDIS Worker Screening Check, Working With Children Check and First Aid and CPR, so participants and families can see you are verified before they reach out.
Where does my profile appear?
In Novida’s independent-worker search — filterable by suburb, skills and availability — and on the local suburb pages for the areas you cover, so you are found by people looking nearby.
Do I need an ABN to list?
An independent-worker profile is built for sole traders who invoice participants and plan managers directly, so you will generally have an ABN. If you are still setting up, our independent-worker guides walk you through getting one.
What do I get if I upgrade?
Solo ($29/month) and Pro ($79/month) unlock direct participant enquiries — unlimited, SMS-alerted and with no per-lead fees — plus the tools to run your business, including invoicing plan managers.
