NSW rules, briefly. Registration with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission is national; NSW runs the NDIS Worker Check through the Office of the Children's Guardian, with applications started at Service NSW; and supported independent living has needed registration since 1 July 2026. Our Sydney NDIS provider page explains these with sources. This section is about the Highlands.
Who the local partners are. SSI delivers local area coordination for people aged 9 to 64 in six South West Sydney council areas, Wingecarribee among them, from offices that include Picton. Wingecarribee Shire Council's services directory lists an SSI session at the Highlands Community Centre in Mona Road, Bowral, and SSI's Aboriginal local area coordinators have run a community connection desk in Bowral for First Nations people. For children, EACH is the early childhood partner and says no diagnosis or GP referral is needed. Council acknowledges the Gundungurra and Dharawal peoples as Traditional Custodians.
A district line to the south-west. Goulburn Mulwaree, next door, had 1,347 participants at June 2026 but sits in the NDIA's Southern NSW district, where Uniting is the local area coordination partner. Wollondilly, to the north, is in the same South Western Sydney district as the Highlands and had 1,920. A Mittagong provider who also covers Marulan or Goulburn, or Bargo and Picton, should name those towns, since referrals there come through different coordinators and families search by their own town.
Housing and supported living. Across South Western Sydney, 1,707 participants were in supported independent living at 30 June 2026, up from 1,217 four years earlier, and 533 lived in specialist disability accommodation, with 484 more eligible but not yet using it. A Highlands SDA or SIL vacancy deserves a clear listing: the town, the design category, the features, whether SIL is offered and how to enquire.
How we'd work together. We're an Adelaide team and run Highlands projects by phone and email. We haven't built for a Wingecarribee business, or for one whose main work is NDIS supports; the projects below show the forms and layouts we'd draw on. You send your supports, towns and registration details, and we send a draft link to check before you pay anything.
