Before booking

First, check how the participant’s plan is managed

The way the participant’s NDIS funding is managed affects whether they can use an unregistered provider like Smoothmoves. We keep this clear from the first enquiry.

We may be able to assist

Self-managed participants

Smoothmoves can provide a written quote and invoice for the participant, nominee or family to manage through their plan arrangements.

We may be able to assist

Plan-managed participants

Smoothmoves can provide a quote or invoice to the plan manager, once the participant or their support team confirms the service and payment requirements.

Private payment only

NDIA-managed participants

Smoothmoves is not currently a registered NDIS provider, so we cannot provide NDIS-funded services for NDIA-managed participants unless the move is paid privately.

Funding note: A Smoothmoves quote does not mean the move is funded, approved or guaranteed by the NDIS. Please confirm suitability with the participant’s plan manager, support coordinator, nominee or NDIS contact before booking.

Tell us what type of moving help is needed: moving, packing, unpacking, storage or a combination.

Confirm suitability and payment

The participant or support team should confirm whether the service is suitable under the plan and how the invoice should be handled.

FAQs

Common questions about NDIS participant moves

These answers are general information only. Participants should confirm their own plan and payment arrangements before booking a removalist.

Is Smoothmoves an NDIS registered provider?

No. Smoothmoves is not currently a registered NDIS provider. We may be able to assist self-managed and plan-managed participants, but we cannot provide NDIS-funded services for NDIA-managed participants unless the move is paid privately.

Can NDIS participants use Smoothmoves?

Self-managed and plan-managed participants can generally choose registered or unregistered providers. Smoothmoves can provide a quote for moving, packing, unpacking or storage where the participant or their support team has confirmed the service is suitable for their plan.

Can the NDIS pay for removalists?

In some cases, removalist costs may be considered where the support is needed because of the participant’s disability support needs. Smoothmoves does not decide this and does not guarantee funding.

Can you invoice my plan manager?

Yes, where the participant is plan-managed and the plan manager confirms they can process the invoice. We may ask for the plan manager’s name, email address, invoice requirements and any approval or purchase order details before booking.

Do you guarantee that my move will be covered by NDIS?

No. Smoothmoves provides removalist services and documentation such as quotes and invoices. We do not approve funding, provide NDIS funding advice or guarantee that the NDIS will cover a move.

What if my plan is NDIA-managed?

If your plan is NDIA-managed, you generally need to use a registered NDIS provider for NDIS-funded services. Smoothmoves is not currently registered, so we can only assist if the service is paid privately.

What should I check before booking?

Check how the plan is managed, whether the service is suitable for the participant’s plan, who should receive the quote or invoice, and whether any approval or purchase order is needed before booking.
