Q : As a participant , do I always have to sign a service agreement ?
A : Not always but we highly recommend you do .
It is up to you and your provider whether or not you want to have a service agreement . The NDIS recommends having a service agreement so you have in writing what services you will get ; how much they will cost and when they will be delivered .
Service bookings on the other hand are compulsory . These are the individual requests for a product or service and are required to process payments in the myplace portal .
Service bookings are generally created by participants , their nominee , or their Plan Manager . A participant may be supported by an NDIA representative to complete their service bookings and can also ask a provider to do this on their behalf .
More detailed information about when and how to make a service agreement can be found here : www . ndis . gov . au / document / service-agreements-providers . html
