FAQ

Some of our most frequently asked questions about the NDIS

Do I need Support Coordination in my plan to work with you?

No. I work with both self-managed and plan-managed participants even if Support Coordination isn’t funded in your plan. My practical mentoring support is billed under Core Supports, and it’s perfect if you just need someone to guide you through things.

What kind of clients do you work with?

I work with teens and adults with a range of disabilities including psychosocial disability, autism, physical disability, and complex needs. Whether you’re new to NDIS, heading into review, or just stuck, I can help you take confident action.

How are sessions delivered?

I offer support by phone or video across all of Queensland so no matter where you live, you can still get real help without needing to travel.

If you're based in Cairns or the Tablelands, I also offer face-to-face sessions by arrangement.

What’s the difference between what you do and a Support Coordinator?

Great question and one I get a lot. Support Coordinators focus on building your team of providers. I go deeper into helping you understand your plan, navigate decisions, prepare for reviews, and build practical skills. I also support people who don’t have coordination in their plan at all.

How do I pay for your services?

If you’re self-managed or plan-managed, I can work with you. My services are billed to the appropriate NDIS line items either Capacity Building or Core Supports depending on what we’re doing. I’ll always explain which funding applies before we start.

Can you help me with NDIS goals or preparing for a plan review?

Yes that’s one of the things I do best. Whether you’re setting new goals, updating old ones, or getting ready for a reassessment, I can help you write clear, meaningful goals that reflect your real needs and make sure your plan review is as strong as possible.
