The short answer: fill SIL vacancies with a live vacancies page, catchment SEO and Google Business Profile, coordinator and discharge-planner outreach, NDIS vacancy platforms, targeted ads, clear home information and same-day responses. One placement can be worth $100,000+ a year.
An empty SIL bed costs you every day against fixed staffing and property costs, yet vacancies routinely sit for months. The reason is rarely the home. It is that the people who fill placements, support coordinators, families and hospital discharge planners, cannot find you or cannot quickly tell if your home suits their participant.
We run vacancy campaigns measured on placements, not clicks.
The provider who responds first usually wins. Make enquiring effortless and reply the same day. A fast, human response often beats a better home that answers two days later.
One SIL participant can represent more than $100,000 a year in plan funding, so even a single extra placement covers a serious marketing investment many times over. That is why filling vacancies fast matters more in SIL than anywhere else.
Use a live vacancies page on your site, catchment SEO and Google Business Profile, direct coordinator and discharge-planner outreach, NDIS vacancy platforms, and targeted ads when you need to fill fast.
With an active campaign, typically 2 to 5 months depending on the home, location and compatibility requirements. Without one, vacancies often sit for a year.
Mostly through support coordinators, hospital discharge planners and families researching online, rather than participants self-referring.
Yes, when honest, non-pressuring and respectful of the NDIS Code of Conduct and the rules on the NDIS name and logo.
A specialist reviews your visibility against the providers competing in your catchment, and sends a written growth plan within two business days. You keep it either way.
