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 typically use Core funding (the same codes your support workers likely use). In some situations we can use Capacity Building categories, such as:

Skill Development and Training
Employment Support
Training for Parents/Carers
Assistance With Accommodation And Tenancy Obligations

If you are unsure or have further questions, please consult with your LAC, support coordinator or plan manager, 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 us via email — and that’s perfectly okay. In fact, I’ve never seen some of our clients’ faces before, 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 payment plan or organise a retainer to then be paid off via direct debit — there are options!

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

Honestly? Yeah, it sure does. And a lot of it is.

I have wrestled with the idea of adding Support Coordination to my list of services for a while. But given the ever-changing climate within the NDIS, I have decided against it for now.

If you have a support coordinator, I will at times need to direct you back to them with certain things to maintain the boundaries of my role as a VA.

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.

We would be happy to! When you book a free initial consultation, we’ll have a chat about why you have reached out for support - this is purely so we can tailor any action plans and support we provide to best suit your needs and your way of working.

We are 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 and we would never judge anyone for seeking support, no matter the reason/s!

Firstly, I get it! If you’ve read my bio page, 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.
