Lower overhead as an independent provider
Rush Connect & Care is a smaller-scale sole trader service, which means pricing can stay focused on the actual support relationship rather than large-provider layers.
Pricing
Affordable NDIS support worker pricing in Melbourne
A clear pricing guide for one-to-one NDIS support with Rush Connect & Care. As a smaller independent provider, the service is built to keep support practical, transparent and personal, with flexible NDIS support pricing discussed before support begins.
Rush Connect & Care currently operates as an unregistered provider. Pricing is most relevant for self-managed and plan-managed participants where support can be purchased from an unregistered provider under the participant’s current plan.
Rates can be confirmed during enquiry depending on the support required, timing, location, participant goals, and whether support is self-managed or plan-managed.

Transparent pricing
Independent rates with lower overhead
Transparent NDIS pricing
Rates are listed clearly so participants, families, support coordinators and plan managers can understand costs before choosing support.
Value-based NDIS support
Competitive pricing allows participants to maximise their funding without compromising on consistency, professionalism or genuine support.
For ongoing support of 30 hours or more per week, rates may be negotiable depending on the support needs, schedule and location. Any agreed rate is confirmed in writing before support begins.
Important details
Before support starts
Pricing should be checked against the participant’s current NDIS plan, goals, funding type, and any plan manager requirements before ongoing support begins.
Rush Connect & Care is not a registered NDIS provider. NDIA-managed participants generally need registered providers, so funding fit should be checked before relying on these rates.
Current NDIS-capped rates are checked against the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.
Rush Connect & Care is not crisis support, emergency response, clinical therapy, medical care, or behaviour support. Support is practical, one-to-one, and delivered within clear boundaries.
