What Makes a Standout NDIS Provider Profile?

Some MySolas provider profiles get browsed and forgotten. Others generate genuine enquiries week after week.

The difference usually isn't the service you offer — it's how your profile is put together.

A clear, complete and up-to-date profile makes it easier for families, participants and Support Coordinators to understand what you do and decide whether you're the right fit.

Complete profiles make it easier to enquire

A complete profile gives people more of the information they need to decide whether to get in touch.

Missing service areas, descriptions, support types or photos can leave people with unanswered questions — and give them a reason to keep scrolling.

Think about the questions someone might have when they land on your profile:

• What supports do you provide?
• Where do you provide them?
• Who is your service best suited to?
• What makes your team a good fit?

The easier those questions are to answer, the easier it is for the right person to take the next step.

If you haven't reviewed your MySolas profile recently, it's worth taking a few minutes to check what a potential participant or Support Coordinator sees when they find you.

Real photos help people understand your service

Families aren't just choosing a service — they're choosing the people and environment involved in supporting themselves or someone they care about.

Adding genuine, current photos of your team, premises or services can help your profile feel more personal and give people a clearer picture of what to expect.

You don't need a professional photoshoot or heavily polished images. A selection of authentic photos can give people a clearer picture of your team, environment and the support you provide than relying on a single image alone.

Think about what someone would want to see before making an enquiry. Your team, your facilities, your programs or the environments where support is delivered can all help bring your profile to life.

Specific descriptions help the right people find you

"We provide quality support" sounds positive, but it doesn't tell someone much about whether your service is right for them.

Be specific about what you actually do.

Include the support types you provide, the areas you service and the participants your team has experience supporting.

If your team has particular experience with:

• Autism
• Psychosocial disability
• Complex support needs
• Behaviour support
• Children, young people or older participants
• Specific cultural or community needs

include that information where it is relevant and accurate.

Specific information helps the right participants, families and Support Coordinators recognise when your service could be a good fit. It can also help MySolas Match connect you with enquiries that better suit what you provide.

The more clearly you explain your services, the easier it is for someone to understand whether they should contact you.

Keep your profile information current

Your profile should reflect your service as it operates today.

If you've expanded into a new area, added a support category, changed your availability or updated your team, make sure your MySolas profile reflects those changes.

The same applies to your registration details and contact information. Keeping everything current helps ensure people are receiving accurate information when they find your listing.

An outdated profile can create unnecessary friction. If someone has to search elsewhere to work out whether you still provide a particular service or operate in their area, they may simply move on to another provider.

Response time can make a difference

Families and Support Coordinators may be contacting several providers at once.

A timely, clear response can make it easier to start a conversation while the participant's needs are still front of mind.

You don't always need to have a full answer immediately. Even a short acknowledgement letting someone know you've received their enquiry and will follow up can show that your team is available and actively managing enquiries.

The key is having a process your team can realistically maintain.

Make it easier for the right people to find you
