Bendigo Disability Services Hi there! My name is Nat. I'm an independent disability support worker. E.g.

I've gained specialised knowledge and experience from working as an NDIS local area coordinator ("LAC") and a disability advocate in the education system. ⭐️INDIVIDUAL SKILL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ⭐️
I’m available for short term projects that will support you to achieve your NDIS goals.

✅ Support with learning new life skills of your choice. Budgeting, transport training, using technology and more!
✅ Understanding how to solve problems.
✅ Repetition/practice of prescribed therapy programs (from your occupational therapist, speech pathologist etc).

✅ Understanding your rights.
✅ Explaining options so that you feel confident in making informed decisions.
✅ Teaching you to self-advocate.

✅ Assistance with understanding the NDIS.
✅ Setting goals, writing personal statements, gathering suitable evidence & support with attending NDIS reviews.
✅ Support with learning to use and take control of your NDIS plan.

❌ Please note that I will not be offering assistance with:
- Personal care (showering, dressing etc.) OR
- Social/community access (going out for coffee, shopping, group activities)
UNLESS these are part of your skill development needs.

It’s been a while since I said “Hi” so…

Hi, I'm Rae (they/them) and I'm an Arts Therapist, Psychotherapist and Supervisor. I am a Neuroqueer Enby living and working on stolen Wurundjeri land. I am very passionate about Disability Rights, the LGBTQIA+ Community and Mental Health. I am vegan and love animals. I also have a sensory garden outside the studio.

As a supervisor I offer strong knowledge and experience in supporting Neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ people. I can support you to create a more affirming and inclusive practice, especially when working with trans, non-binary and gender diverse folks. I also provide supervision for professionals with lived experiences in these areas.
