Looking for a Support Coordinator?
The Growing Space are NDIS-registered Support Coordinators working across Australia – in person in SA, WA and QLD, and remotely everywhere else. We help you understand and use your NDIS plan, prepare for reassessments, navigate tricky situations, and find the supports and services that suit your life. Whether you’re Agency, Plan or Self-managed with Support Coordination or Specialist Support Coordination funding in your NDIS plan, our goal is to build your skills and confidence, so you need us less over time. Please share some info with us about what you are looking for by filling in our form.
Looking for a Speaker or Custom Training?
Sam and our team speak at conferences, events, and workshops across the country, sharing useful info, real-life stories, practical tips, and a dash of humour to keep things honest and human. Whether it’s about self-management, ai, support coordination, or disability advocacy, we combine lived experience and plain-English advice that cuts through the jargon.
