Hi, I’m Allan

Hi, I’m Allan. As a trusted NDIS Provider in Cairns, I’ve been helping people navigate the NDIS for over seven years. I understand how overwhelming the process can be, especially when you're expected to figure it all out on your own. I’ve lived that experience myself. I’m not just a provider; I’m an NDIS participant too.That’s why I created Strong Foundation Support: to help you build confidence, truly understand your plan, and take real action that makes a difference in your life.

Whether you’re brand new to the scheme or have had a plan for years, I offer support that’s practical, personal, and pressure-free.

I provide face-to-face services as an NDIS provider in Cairns, including Tablelands, Port Douglas, Palm Cove, Gordonvale, Yarrabah, Mossman, and surrounding areas. I also work with participants all over Australia via phone and video.

I only offer what I’d use myself
If I wouldn’t trust someone to support me as an NDIS participant, I won’t recommend them to you. Everything I do is built from real experience not sales targets.

Plain English, always
I’ll explain things in a way that makes sense. No buzzwords. No jargon. Just honest guidance, straight up.


What I Stand For


Disability-led, participant-focused
I’ve lived through the system myself. That’s why Strong Foundation Support exists to give you the kind of help I wish I’d had.

You get my full attention not a giant caseload.
I keep my client list small on purpose. That means when you work with me, you get fast replies, genuine support, and a provider who actually shows up for you.



Support should feel like support
No pressure. No fluff. You should feel heard, respected, and understood not managed, judged, or pushed around.

Your goals, not mine
This is your plan. Your life. I’m here to help you build what you want not what someone else thinks is “appropriate.”



FAQs

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
