f.a.q

Yes, we can invoice your NDIS plan from your NDIS plan from your core or capacity building and transition to work. We can also provide Supports in Employment, depending on your funding to ensure that you keep your job once you have settled in.   

We can also provide services under the old name of SLES to assist participants. 

We can invoice Self Managed and Plan Managed Participants only. 

For NDIA managed plans, we have successfully passed our NDIS Registration audit, and have been recommended for registration with the NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission. Now we wait for our NDIS registration to be processed (this is taking some time, more than anticipated) but we will advise as soon as the registration process has been completed.  

We cannot provide services to NDIA plan managed participants at this time while we await our NDIS registration.   

The benefit of our service is that it can be delivered online, in your home or at a local community hub or library, while we coach you through your development.

The best delivery is in-person, so we get the best outcomes and can connect with your local community and employers. 

We are based in Melbourne metropolitan, but depending on what employer programs we currently have, regional Victoria may be a possibility. Get in touch to find out where we currently are providing services.

Our service is NOT an accredited course. There is an online portal that we use as part of coaching tools to help build employability skill and capacity, this is with mentored guidance throughout. 

You wont receive a qualification but we concentrate on outcomes.  You will receive more than a head full of information - we build your skills, understanding of you and help you develop your story with practical guidance that you need to find and keep a job.

We have a decade of experience working in employment programs coaching and mentoring people with disability to find and keep a job. We've run employer programs that have achieved 80% employment success for participants. While we dont guarantee you a job, we make sure that we can set you up for success and place you in the best possible position to gain employment.  Because you need to do some of the work to gaining employment. We work with small numbers to ensure that we can help you where you need it the most.

We'll begin with a Discovery session to learn about you, your family, your support network, and your community. We’ll explore your employment experiences through a questionnaire to assess your current position on the job readiness scale.

Next, you'll enter our coaching service, which includes a comprehensive workbook and access to an online portal. Over 12 weeks, we’ll guide you each step of the way. Once completed we continue working with you until you find the right opportunity.

When you’re ready, we’ll dive into different work options and types of employment. Before this, we’ll equip you with essential tools to understand your values, strengths, and transferable skills, empowering you to confidently share your story in the job market.

Bonus Section: Employment for Me!

In our bonus section, "Employment for Me!", we’ll teach you self-advocacy skills, provide insights into the employment market, and help you craft your resume and cover letters in your own words. You’ll also learn how to use AI effectively to enhance your application.

When you complete the capacity building program, or during, we will help you explore different work options that suit your needs. Sometimes it wont be the dream job you were thinking, but when you know that you need some extra experience, we can get that from different types of workplace.

No career was ever as straight as a ladder. 

We run the Purposeful Employer Programs (PEP) with businesses interested in becoming more inclusive in their recruitment practices and their workforce.  We can invite you to jump on board for a spot on one of these programs which is work immersion in group settings.

We can also provide you with on the job Supports in Employment to ensure that you keep your job and work with your employer to ensure they make necessary adjustments for you to keep your job. 

Or your pathway may be a referral to a (DES) IEA provider or another NDIS provider who can take you on a different route to your employment goal. 

We will work with you and what you want to achieve.  

If you want to apply to the NDIS, connecting with a partner is a good first step. If you’re 9 or older it’s best to contact your local area coordinator (LAC). LAC's will help you understand the eligibility requirements, and what information and identification you need to give us. They will help you apply to the NDIS by submitting the application on your behalf. This means you don’t need to complete the access request form yourself.

You can submit the access request form or to get started, visit the office location page on the NDIS website or call NDIA on 

1800 800 110.

We can help anyone who has the desire to work and is not scared to put in the effort to achieve their goals.  

Our prices are set according to the NDIS Price Guide, but we can provide services to anyone.  

We would bill you directly for our hourly rate, as a pay-as-you-go style of service. Much like when you engage a tutor for school or study. We'll bill you weekly and you can provide us with 7 days before the date you want to change the frequency or stop services in writing (email) at anytime.

Get in contact at hello@equallyu.com.au and we can provide you with a quotation. If this is still not an option, but you are still interested, get in contact anyway to discuss your situation.

Thanks for your question.

This is possible, however if you want to achieve results, we recommend that the coaching and mentoring needs to be included along with the Purposeful Job Hunter program.   

This is how we get to know you better, you get to know yourself, your unique talents, skills and hopes setting you up for a job placement that is meaningful and relevant. How many times have you been placed in jobs or work experiences that don't align with your values and interests, or the employer is not an inclusive one?  

Let's stack all of the odds in YOUR favour!

Yes this is a common problem when people get NDIS plans, then dont know who provides what service in the chain. There are Local Area Coordinators (LAC's) NDIA, Plan Managers, Support Coordinators/Psychosocial Recovery Coaches and then Providers who deliver services to help you. We hope this helps:

You work with a Local Area Coordinator, who is an NDIA appointed representative to liaise with the NDIA for funding. Everybody needs to engage with a LAC to gain access and manage funding assessments with the NDIA. 

You have a choice to self manage your plan. Sometimes this is hard to keep track of your funding and coordinating services by yourself without having the knowledge from the NDIS sector. You'll have to manage and pay providers on time and track your spending so as not to run out of funds before the end of your plan date to pay all of your providers.

(e.g. Grace Professional, Future Focus, Stellar Rose Services) 

Support Coordinators/Psychosocial Recovery Coaches - (independent service) engage a support coordinator (if you have funding for one, it is normally stated in your plan if you do), an independent person who specialises in knowing all of the different services offered by NDIS providers and can make connections for you as they understand your goals and your allocated funding and where you want to spend it to help you live a full life. 

(e.g. Plan Partners, NDSP, Thrive)

A Plan Manager (like an accountant who specialises in NDIA funding) helps you manage the funds in your plan and pay providers on your behalf. They'll keep an eye on things for you and make sure that providers are charging you correctly for things that you have funding for in your plan. 

We are an NDIS provider (waiting for registration) but provide services to NDIS participants.  There are many different providers who have built services to assist you to live a full life. Some are NDIS Registered and other are not NDIS Registered. You can still use non registered providers, as long as your plan is not plan managed by the NDIA, but are self managed or use a Plan Manager (that is not NDIA).
