FAQs

  • I’m currently working on a blog about this because what I do is so wildly varied and at times, downright random! Stay tuned.

  • There are a small handful of things that I can’t do as a VA – mostly due to skillset or qualifications,. This includes things like bookkeeping, social media management, or doing things that fall under support coordination (which I do offer, but as a separate service with a different hourly rate and NDIS line item).

  • If you are self or plan managed, absolutely! The line item I use will depend on the type of work we're doing together, but I most commonly use one of the below items from Core:

    • Assistance With Self-Care Activities

    • Access Community Social and Rec Activities

    Or, depending on your plan, I can use Capacity Building categories, such as:

    • Skill Development and Training

    • Employment Support

    • Training for Parents/Carers

    • Assistance With Accommodation And Tenancy Obligations

    • Assistance With Decision Making, Daily Planning and Budgeting

    If you are unsure or have further questions, please consult with your LAC or support coordinator – or, feel free to contact me and I’m happy to chat through it with you.

  • I'm so glad you asked! Check out my blog post about the magic of body doubling.

  • Heck no! I’m all about meeting you where you’re comfortable. Some of my clients only communicate with me via email — and that’s perfectly okay. In fact, I’ve never seen some of my clients’ faces, and it works just fine. I won’t even ask you why — no pressure, no forcing you into gross neurotypical norms, just support that fits your needs.

  • Please don’t feel like finances should stop you from reaching out. I understand how expensive and stressful life is, and want to make things as easy as possible. I can work with you to come up with a plan, or organise a retainer to then be paid off in small chunks via direct debit — there are options!

  • My services are all provided virtually, but I can help you find in-person support too!

  • In short, yep! My service agreement includes a privacy and confidentiality clause outlining what I do with your information during and after our work together, and I am bound by the Australian Privacy Principles as outlined in my privacy policy.

  • Bold of you to assume I do! You know the old adage about the tradie whose house is never complete? Or the marriage counselor who’s been divorced three times? I can support others precisely because I know what it’s like not to have my life admin together. I am passionate about what I do and can have a level of objectivity we sometimes can’t have about our own stuff.

  • Of course! When you book a discovery call, we’ll have a chat about why you have reached out for support - not to judge – purely so I can tailor any plans and support I provide to best suit your needs and your way of working.

    I am never going to ask anyone to prove or justify why they can’t (or don’t want to) handle their own life admin. We’re all just trying to get by as best we can.

  • Firstly, I get it! If you’ve read my bio, you’ll know I can relate to the feeling of just being “lazy” or “unmotivated”. I also get the need to justify every cent and not be seen as bougie or frivolous. I also know the burnout that comes with letting both of those things rule your decision-making and frankly, it sucks. 

    I’m not here to sell you on Stardust specifically but I will ask you this: how is paying someone to take care of your life admin any different from paying Uber Eats to bring you food when your spoons are low? Is it any different to taking up a gym membership so you’re actually motivated to exercise? 

    There’s an argument to be made that people “should” be able to do all of those things without paying for them or paying someone else to do them. But honestly - it’s no one’s business how you spend your hard-earned dollars and as far as I’m concerned, anything that makes life easier is money well spent.

    Still not sure you can justify the cost? An initial chat will be completely free, and I’m always more than happy to work out a plan to fit just about any budget.

  • Yes. So many. I’m currently taking expressions of interest for mentorship — check back soon :)
