Victoria's rules, briefly. Melton is part of Greater Melbourne, so nothing changes from the city: workers apply for an NDIS Worker Screening Check through Service Victoria, clearances last five years and don't replace a Working with Children Check, and the Victorian Disability Worker Commission regulates the disability workforce statewide. Our Melbourne NDIS provider page sets out both, with links to the regulators.
The fastest-growing half of the district. The NDIA counted 14,603 participants in its Brimbank Melton district at 30 June 2026. The City of Melton accounted for 8,623 of them, up from 4,837 in June 2022, a rise of about 78%, while Brimbank went from 4,466 to 5,980. Within Melton the largest NDIA area is Melton South, with 2,267 participants, followed by Rockbank – Mount Cottrell (1,294), Hillside (1,248), Melton West (1,129) and Melton (1,092), with Caroline Springs and Taylors Hill smaller at 490 and 485. The council describes Melton as the fastest-growing municipality in Australia, and some of its 31 suburbs, Cobblebank and Aintree among them, were only gazetted in 2017.
One partner for adults and children. The Brotherhood of St Laurence delivers both local area coordination and the early childhood approach in Brimbank Melton, and the NDIA lists its local area coordination office on High Street in Melton. It also covers the neighbouring Western Melbourne district, which takes in Wyndham, with 10,453 participants, so a provider working in Truganina or Tarneit as well as Melton is still dealing with the same organisation. Going west is different: Bacchus Marsh, in Moorabool Shire, belongs to the NDIA's Central Highlands district, where Latrobe Community Health Service is the partner, and Moorabool had 1,418 participants.
How Melton plans are paid. Of the district's 14,603 plans, 10,467 (71.7%) were plan-managed, 3,006 (20.6%) fully self-managed, 596 (4.1%) partly self-managed and 500 (3.4%) NDIA-managed, against 6.0% NDIA-managed nationally. Self-managing parents pay you directly and want your rates, cancellation terms and how invoices arrive; plan managers want your ABN and registration status. The Victorian Government's new Melton Hospital in Cobblebank, run by Western Health, is due to be finished in 2029, which will bring a local discharge team into the referral picture.
Working with an Adelaide team. We're based in Adelaide and work with Melton providers by phone and email, half an hour behind you on the clock. None of our clients is in Melton, and the one Victorian client in our portfolio is a coaching practice in Melbourne. You send your supports, suburbs and photos; we build a draft you can check on your phone; you pay once you've approved it.
