What is Thin Markets?
In plain English
Places or service types where there are few or no providers available, often in rural and remote areas. The NDIS uses this term when participant demand is not being met.
A thin market is a place or service type where there are few or no providers available, so participant demand is not being met. This is common in rural and remote areas, and for some specialised supports. Thin markets are one of the hardest problems in the NDIS. A directory that shows real availability, including unregistered and independent providers, helps participants see every genuine option in their area.
