Support that fits the life you already have, not the other way around.

  1. 01

    Get in touch

    Call, email or send the referral form. Tell us what you need and how your plan is managed. Support coordinators and families are welcome to enquire on someone's behalf.

  2. 02

    Meet and greet

    We sit down with you — at home, in the community or over the phone — to talk through your goals, your routine and the kind of person you'd like supporting you. Free, and no obligation.

  3. 03

    Agree the details

    You get a clear service agreement and schedule of supports: what we'll do, when, who with, and exactly what it draws from your plan. Nothing starts until you're happy with it.

  4. 04

    Supports start

    Your matched support worker begins. We check in early, then regularly — and we adjust the roster, the hours or the worker whenever your life changes.

Services

Every support we offer, in the language your plan uses.

Your NDIS plan splits funding into different budgets. So does this list — filter by budget to see what you can use us for, or read the lot.

Core

Assistance with daily personal activities

Hands-on personal care done the way you like it: showering, dressing, grooming, toileting, continence support, transfers, medication prompting and getting ready for the day or bed.

Our approach

The support worker matters more than the brochure.

Most of what makes a support good has nothing to do with the service name. It's whether the right person turns up, on time, knowing what you like.

Support should feel like your life.Not a service being done around you.

You choose who supports you

We match on personality, interests, gender preference, language and lived experience — not just availability. Meet them before you commit, and tell us honestly if it isn't working.

Consistent faces

We build a small, regular team around you and protect that continuity. You shouldn't have to explain your routine to a stranger every fortnight.

Dignity of risk

Support that's too careful takes life away. We back you to make your own decisions — including the ones we'd make differently — and manage the risk around them properly.

Everyone is welcome

Whatever your age, culture, faith, language, gender or sexuality, you'll be supported as you are. We have zero tolerance for abuse, neglect or discrimination.

Trained, checked and insured

Every worker holds an NDIS Worker Screening Check, completes the NDIS Worker Orientation Module, and works to our policies on medication, manual handling, incidents and infection control.

Complaints get answered

If something goes wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — and you can always go straight to the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission instead. Both are legitimate. Neither affects your supports.

Questions

The things people ask before they call.

It changes who pays the invoice, not the support you get. If you're self-managed we invoice you directly; if you're plan-managed we invoice your plan manager; if you're NDIA-managed we claim through the portal. Tell us which one you are when you enquire and we'll set it up.

For most standard supports, within a week or two of the meet and greet — sometimes faster. Overnight, high intensity and SIL supports take longer because we need to match the right trained worker rather than the first available one. If it's urgent, say so on the referral form and we'll tell you honestly what we can do.

Yes, to both. You meet your worker before supports begin, and you can ask for a different one at any time without giving a reason. Nobody has to explain why a match isn't working.

Yes. We support participants across age groups, with workers matched to the age and needs of the person. For younger children we work closely with families, schools and the early childhood team around them.

We charge in line with the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, so rates depend on the support type, the day and the time. Your service agreement sets out every rate before anything starts — including travel and any cancellation terms — and we'll never claim for something we haven't discussed with you.

Use the referral form below or email us directly with the participant's goals, the supports and hours sought, plan management type, and anything we need to know about risk or complex health needs. You'll get a response on capacity — yes, no, or a realistic timeframe — rather than being left waiting.

Tell any of our team, or contact the office directly, and we'll acknowledge it and work through it with you. You can also contact the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission on 1800 035 544 at any time — you don't need to come to us first, and using either path will never affect your supports.
