Provider hiring sub contractor

Hopefully someone can provide an answer.

I was told in a conversation recently that a support provider subcontracted a 'fitness coach' to set up a program for the participant and run personalised classes. This then turned into group fitness classes and some 1 on 1 classes at the participants home. The support provider did not attend the sessions and was not involved in the planning or any classes.

The support provider charged to the participants ndis plan. The fitness coach charged the support provider.

I suggested that the support provider should not be charging for something they're not providing and that the fitness coach should be offering a service agreement.

I also wonder where the liability sits if the participants were to get injured in any way.

Thoughts?

Is there a solid rule/law/guideline?

Thanks

Support workers and 2 providers.

Hi peeps.

​

Question.

​

A friend of mine has support workers during the day, through multiple providers. One of her support workers works for two companies.

​

She recently asked for some additional support from this worker, it would be through their second employer, who also provides support for my friend already.

​

Can the support worker provide support to my friend through two different providers? She was told yes by the second provider and no by the first. The support worker is happy to pick up the extra shift.
