Geelong is one of Australia's biggest regional NDIS markets — we staff it like a metro.
Geelong has grown into one of the largest regional NDIS catchments in Australia, with participant density comparable to many outer-metro suburbs. The Bellarine Peninsula has added a growing participant base who've relocated from Melbourne for the regional lifestyle but want metro-quality supports. Support Match works Geelong as a proper primary market — we recruit locally, run a full shortlist process, and don't send Melbourne workers down the freeway for shifts that won't stick. Our Geelong pool reflects the region: Karen, Karenni, and Sudanese refugee-background workers alongside the established Italian, Macedonian, and Croatian communities.
