Rebuilding income after separation — on your own terms

Something that's yours. Your hours, your money, your name on it.

If that's you, here it is straight: what the work actually involves, what it pays, what it costs to set up, and how to start — from someone running the same business, part-time, in regional Tasmania.

1. A fast path to income

Funded rates of $60.10–$73.58 an hour without years of retraining.

Learn how to rebuild your own income, on your own terms

Short videos and a written guide on starting your own everyday-support business — the fresh start you're building, plus the meals, shopping, driving and company that keeps someone in their own home. Part-time, and free.

2. An identity that belongs to you

A respected local business, built by you.

3. Predictable cash flow

Weekly invoicing through plan managers.

4. Control of your routine

Work designed around your new life, not the other way round.

5. Honest guidance

Real earnings, real costs, real compliance — no hype.


Where to go next

Being straight with you. The hourly figures on this page are the billing rates from the official NDIS Pricing Schedule — the most that can be charged for that support. They're gross revenue, not take-home. Insurance, tax, super, travel and your own time all come out of it. And the income examples are Cathy's real numbers, not a promise about yours.

The free training is below — the honest version of how this works, in plain language. It's free, and it stays free.
