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.

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 families.

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 and your loved ones.
