FAQs
We know starting supports can feel overwhelming. These answers are here to make things clearer.
Are you a registered NDIS provider?
BloomAble is not a registered NDIS provider. We deliver NDIS-funded supports for participants who are
self-managed or plan-managed.
This allows us to stay flexible, person-centred, and responsive while still working within NDIS guidelines.
What makes BloomAble’s approach different?
We take a mentor-led approach. That means combining genuine human connection with clear systems and
structure so supports feel consistent, transparent, and supportive.
We use tools to stay organised, but people always come first.
Are your services covered by the NDIS?
Yes. If your NDIS plan includes funding for the types of supports we provide, services can be billed directly
to your plan. NDIS pricing is set by the NDIA and may change over time.
We always work within the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements.
What types of supports do you provide?
We provide community participation and capacity-building supports, as well as
Support Coordination (Level 1 and Level 2).
Supports are tailored to your goals and may include daily living skills, routines,
appointments, study or employment goals, and community access.
What is mentoring at BloomAble?
Mentoring at BloomAble is a person-centred support focused on guidance, encouragement,
and skill-building. Mentors work alongside you to build confidence, independence,
and momentum toward your personal goals.
What kinds of goals can a mentor help with?
This may include building daily living skills, increasing social confidence,
exploring interests or volunteering, preparing for work or study,
or becoming more independent in the community.
All goals are shaped around what matters to you.
How is social and community participation funded in my plan?
Community participation may be funded under Core Supports
(Assistance with Social and Community Participation)
or Capacity Building (Increased Social and Community Participation).
We can help you understand where this fits within your plan.
How do I know the cost before supports begin?
Before starting, we provide a clear service agreement and schedule outlining
the supports, pricing, and payment method.
This ensures transparency and no surprises.
Do you offer services outside of NDIS funding?
Yes. We can provide privately funded supports if you are not an NDIS participant
or if you would like additional services outside of your plan.
