The full answer

NDIS providers grow through five core channels: 1) Support coordinator referrals — relationship-driven, slowest to start, highest LTV, 2) Plan-manager preferred-provider lists — get added to 5-10 plan managers' lists, 3) Paid acquisition — Meta ads to families with sub-5-minute speed-to-lead converts at $200-$600 per signed participant, 4) NDIS Provider Finder — low-conversion but free, 5) Word-of-mouth and existing-participant referrals. Provider Scale's growth practice runs all five with the focus on coordinator outreach plus Meta ads. Industry CAC ranges $200 to $1,500 against $30,000-$50,000 LTV.
