Independent Support Worker Starter Kit
Thinking about becoming an independent NDIS support worker, but not sure where to start?
The Independent Support Worker Starter Kit is a practical, beginner-friendly guide designed to help you understand the steps involved in moving from agency work — or starting from scratch — to working independently as a sole trader in Australia.
It walks you through the practical side of setting yourself up, including ABN registration, worker screening and checks, insurance, startup considerations, setting your rates, becoming client-ready, finding participants, onboarding, and building simple systems around your work.
The guide also covers how to start finding clients, including platforms such as Mable, NDIS-related Facebook and community groups, support coordinators, local networks and word of mouth. You’ll learn how to build a stronger support-worker resume and profile, present your experience professionally, respond to enquiries, prepare for discovery calls and decide whether a client is a good fit.

This guide is based on my own experience building an independent support-work client base from scratch and is designed to save you from spending hours piecing everything together yourself.
