Directly employ people you already know and trust as your Support Workers.
We support you to directly employ people you know and trust as your Support Workers without the need to go through an agency.
We do all the tricky stuff. You do you.
The traditional starting point for accessing Support Workers
Traditional agencies and online platforms are a great place to start when organising Support Workers. But what happens when they can’t meet your needs?
Based on your preferences, needs and location these options may just not be the right fit.
The Support Workers on offer are random.
The Support Workers that may suit your needs aren’t available in your area.
You have someone you know and trust, that you’d like to support you.
That’s where our Direct Employ service comes in
The NDIS guidelines allow for participants to employ Support Workers directly. That’s all well and good but the idea of figuring this out on your own is just too tricky for most people.
We believe that the NDIS vision around choice isn’t just a statement, but that it should, and can be a reality for every participant and their loved ones.
That’s why we’ve designed our service to open up your choice of who supports you.
