UPDATED: November 2024

Aside from navigating the complex regulatory processes of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), probably one of the main challenges experienced by NDIS service providers is acquiring new clients.

Of course, as a business, an NDIS service provider is always open to trying new methods to increase their client base.

With over 610,000 Australians actively receiving support from the NDIS, surely getting new clients shouldn’t be that hard, right?

Unfortunately, even with a hefty marketing budget, some NDIS businesses still struggle to get more clients simply due to the implementation of wrong tactics.

However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the strategies they’re using are ineffective. Instead, these methods aren’t producing the desired results because they’re not aligned with the sector in which NDIS service providers are operating in.

So, if you’re an NDIS service provider currently struggling to get more clients, or you’re simply looking for new ways to expand your business and promote your NDIS-related offerings through better client acquisition strategies, then this guide is for you.

In this article, we’ll introduce you to appropriate strategies aimed at helping you get more clients in 2024.

How NDIS Service Providers Think They’ll Get Leads

Before we dive into the strategies for acquiring more clients, let’s first talk about common misconceptions about this process.

Unfortunately, many NDIS service providers fall into the trap mentality of believing that as long as they have a website and a social media presence, new clients will be able to find them.

This notion may have been enough to keep your business running a couple of decades ago because of the smaller number of NDIS support providers back then.

Now, however, the human services sector has boomed, and the number of NDIS service-related businesses has exponentially increased.

With all of these new companies and organisations competing for the same niche market, you need specialised strategies that will put your business right in front of potential NDIS clients.

Where Top NDIS Business’ Leads Actually Come From

If you go around asking successful NDIS service providers where they get their leads and clients, they’ll most likely tell you that Google plays a major role in this matter.

That’s because Google provides people in your local area a place where they can easily find services that are similar to what you’re offering.

As studies have shown, online search has consistently been the top choice for people when searching for NDIS support providers.

By tapping into this digital platform and dominating Google’s search results, you’ll be able to create a direct line between your business and potential clients who are already interested in your services.

Build a Strong Online Presence to Attract NDIS Clients

Probably the most clear-cut way you can take advantage of what Google has to offer business-wise is by establishing a robust digital presence, which can be achieved in the following ways:

Effective Web Design

This can be achieved through well-crafted web design, which involves building a website that’s not only functional and tailored to your brand image, but also accessible to everyone regardless of their abilities.

Take, for example, the website we developed for our client Sureway Health & Wellbeing. For this project, we developed a custom website that resonates with our client’s brand image and offers a smooth user experience.

Plus, we added a specialised accessibility menu that allows visitors to tweak certain visual and functional elements of the website to better suit their needs and conditions.

For another client, Explore Kids Physiotherapy, we updated their digital presence with a new website that’s tailored to their brand image. As part of this new project, we also highlighted their offerings by creating individual pages for their different physiotherapy services.

Furthermore, we added a dedicated contact form at the bottom of the homepage and service pages to provide visitors with an easy and practical way to reach out to Explore Kids Physiotherapy.

To further optimise the website, we incorporate various targeted keywords to its content to improve its visibility in search engine results pages.

How SEO Helps You Get More NDIS Clients

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is and has always been a core pillar when it comes to digital marketing and for NDIS providers, it’s no different. NDIS SEO is unmatched in its ability to boost your website’s visibility and attract the right participants by increasing organic traffic through search engines like Google.

This is exactly what we did for AIIM Choices, a trusted provider of NDIS Plan Management services.

By targeting certain keywords that match the search intent of our client’s ideal audience through content creation and other on-page optimisations, we were able to help AIIM Choices secure 49 listings in the top 10 positions in Google.

In addition, thanks to our optimisation efforts, the last 3 months’ data showed that their website is responding to 637 search query terms, 1.4K clicks, and 14.7K impressions.

Paid Advertising Strategies to Reach NDIS Clients

As mentioned earlier, just having a website and a social media presence is no longer enough if you’re looking to acquire more clients.

What you need is a specialised strategy that will put your NDIS service business right in front of leads who are ready to convert.

This is where a paid ads campaign or pay-per-click advertising comes in. Through paid ads, you can implement a more laser-targeted and localised approach to reach more clients.

For instance, for our client Kirinari, a regionally-based provider of human services, we launched Googe and Meta ads campaigns for its various offerings.

These campaigns had their own goals and were carefully crafted to target Kirinari’s ideal audience, including their location and interests.

One of our campaigns was able to receive 89,750 post engagements and 4,224 landing page views.
