Many NDIS providers deliver incredible support…
but rely on systems built during survival mode.

That’s usually where compliance risks hide.

A calm internal review now is far easier than a reactive one later.
If you’d like a supportive, no-blame check of your systems, that’s exactly what we do.

Message me ‘REVIEW’ and I’ll explain how it works.

Good intentions don’t always equal good systems. When was the last time you checked yours?

Let's check your systems together.

After a great session of supervision with a client it's neen great to balance this with some time outdoors and getting an ocean fix.

How was your day?
I hope it was filled with moments of joy.

Whilst I've been busy with other projects recently I realise I've not been as present here in this space and communities so please allow me to reintroduce myself.

Flexible Consultancy Support for Community & Disability Services

Hi 👋

I am Mardi and I am the owner and operator of Mardi Finlay Consultancy and Support Services.

Following 35 years working as a Community Service Leader(primarily leading Disability and Youth & Family support programs) I became an independent consultant in 2023.

Since then I have been able to walk beside many workers and businesses providing short-term and flexible support to organisations in the community services and disability sector.

I completely understand how busy quality service provision can get, so my focus is on making life easier for providers by offering:

• Short-term consultancy – help when you need it, with no lock-in contracts.
• Flexible fees – tailored to the skills and support required.
• Recruitment assistance – from attracting to onboarding the right people.
• Policy and procedure support – proofreading, refining, or developing clear and compliant documents.
• Staff Supervision and Development. Giving your team the support, guidance and tools they need to grow in their roles amd deliver their best work.

Think of it as having an extra set of hands (and decades of experience) you can call on when things get busy, without the overhead of a long-term hire.

I’d love to hear a bit about your organisation and see if there’s a way I can support yourself and your team.

Thanks for reading this far and i hope that your business continues to grow and support others to make dreams come true,

Warm regards,
Mardi Finlay
