Support Coordinator Pack
All Abilities Movement Hub · Geelong
Everything a support coordinator needs to know about referring a participant to Circle Square.
About Us
Who We Are
Circle Square is a purpose-built fitness and movement facility designed entirely for people with disability. A facility built from scratch, with the equipment, layout, staffing model, and culture to genuinely support participants with a wide range of needs and goals.
Every person on our team is both a qualified personal trainer and an experienced disability support worker. That combination is not common. It means the person supporting your participant understands movement and programming, not just supervision.
Staff Ratio
1:3
Maximum. Never exceeded in group programs.

All services claimed through NDIS. No gap fees.
Program Length
12-Week
Goal blocks with formal reviews and documented outcomes.
Participants only. Circle Square is not open to the general public. Every person in the facility is an NDIS participant or a member of our support team.
The Facility
Our space at 96 Tucker St, Breakwater was built entirely for all-abilities use. Wheelchair-accessible throughout. A dedicated social space and gym floor, all designed from scratch. Transport is included in group programs. We collect and return participants every session at no extra cost.
The Team
Every Circle Square team member is dual-qualified: a disability support worker and a certified personal trainer. The person who trains your participant is the same person who understands their needs, communicates their progress, and shows up every session.

01
Submit a Referral
Complete the online referral form at circlesquare-trainers.netlify.app/referral.html?region=geelong with participant and NDIS details. We'll be in touch within 24 hours to discuss fit, schedule a walkthrough, and confirm next steps.
02
Service Agreement
We prepare a service agreement aligned to the participant's NDIS plan. Families and support coordinators receive a copy for their records. Self-managed participants sign directly with us.
03
Participant Begins
The first session is a relaxed meet-and-greet at the facility, low pressure, no training required. We get to know the participant before building anything. No rushing.
04
Invoicing
Invoices are generated per session and sent directly to the plan manager. Self-managed participants receive invoices to claim through myNDIS. No participant pays anything directly.

Common Questions
Frequently asked by support coordinators.
Can agency-managed participants attend?
We work with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS plans, so supports are claimed directly with no out-of-pocket cost. Agency-managed plans aren't available with us. If your participant is agency-managed and you think Circle Square is the right fit, contact us and we'll work through the options together.
Is there a minimum number of sessions per week?
No minimum. Some participants attend once a week, others two or three times. We work to what the participant's plan and goals support. We recommend once per week for consistency, but we never enforce this.
Is there a joining fee or waitlist deposit?
No joining fee. No waitlist deposit. No co-contribution. Submit a referral and we'll take it from there.
How does invoicing work?
We invoice per session, typically weekly or fortnightly. Invoices are sent directly to the plan manager and include all relevant NDIS information, support item numbers, dates, hours, rates, and participant name. Self-managed participants receive invoices to claim through myNDIS.
Can we visit before committing?
Absolutely. We encourage it. A walkthrough for the participant and their support coordinator is part of the intake process. We want the participant to feel comfortable before their first session, not surprised by it.
