Who We Are

 

Living My Way is a trusted Member based not-for-profit organisation who have been supporting people with disabilities to live a self-directed life since 1992.

We remain fiercely loyal to the original reason for our existence – that Members can get on with life to live as independently as they choose.

The freedom of our unique Employ Your Own Model remains at the heart of what we do, and our core service pillar.

We pride ourselves on being an honest and professional organisation with Member representation on the Board.

our CEO’s story.

“My hope is that 30 years from now, our story will be as ground breaking and purposeful as
it was when we began, in 1992.”

– Mark, CEO

Our History

 

In 1984, twenty-four people, all wheelchair users with significant disabilities, had the opportunity to discover what real independence looked like. They were the ‘lucky few’ in an experiment called the Attendant Care Pilot Study. That study would change their lives forever and in turn, the lives of many others.

Almost a decade later, fourteen of the lucky few joined forces to form their own organisation, that eventually became Living My Way.

It was through the dedication, campaigning, and sheer persistence of our early founders that empowered our organisation to become who we are today. They would become the proving ground for a national allowance program, that would empower many more to live their lives their way.

You can read more about the origin story in ‘Becoming the lucky many’ – The Living My Way Story.

Testimonials

Living My Way is my go-to because they always know the answer and if they don't know the answer, then they go and find out for me.

Andrew, Living My Way Member

Every piece of equipment that I rely on throughout my day Living My Way has played a hand in it. It doesn’t just make life easier, it makes it possible. Without them, I honestly don’t know how I’d be able to function.

Living My Way Member

Having Living My Way is like having someone that’s willing to run the extra mile just to get the right answer. The human side of it is special and that’s what makes Living My Way better than most.

Living My Way Member

The Plan Management team have always been very helpful when I’ve had questions about my sons funding and how it can be used and they’ve provided ample warning when funds were about to run out.

Living My Way Member

I do my own recruitment, rosters and day to day management, liaise with my staff and rostering them. I really enjoy doing this. At the end of the day, I am the person they answer to. It’s very important to me to have control and choice... My work day can change but I can control and negotiate changes as I manage my staff. I learned a lot of skill negotiating and dealing with people.

Living My Way Member

If there are any problems or anything I'm concerned about, I know I can pick up the phone and talk to someone in the office at Living My Way. They're all very helpful and have far more knowledge about the NDIS than I do.

Pauline, Living My Way Member

I know Living My Way take all their Members really seriously. You're not just a number or someone on a piece of paper, you're a person with their own needs and interests.

Frances, Living My Way Member

It's so simple. I just email and the invoices are paid – there is no fuss and I receive all the information I need to manage things from my end.

Ben, Living My Way Member

I know that Living My Way take all their Members really seriously. You’re not just a number or someone on a piece of paper, you’re a person with their own needs and interests.

Living My Way Member

Every piece of equipment that I rely on throughout my day Living My Way has played a hand in it. It doesn’t just make life easier, it makes it possible. Without them, I honestly don’t know how I’d be able to function.

Living My Way Member

I don’t think I will ever understand the NDIS without the help of Living My Way and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Living My Way to anyone looking to have their NDIS plan, Plan Managed.

Living My Way Member

I know that Living My Way take all their Members really seriously. You’re not just a number or someone on a piece of paper, you’re a person with their own needs and interests.

I’m really thankful to everyone at Living My Way. It’s got me the life I want to live.

Living My Way Member

I just wanted to say a HUGE well done to the team. You are all stars! 24 hours to process payment of our Invoices is an outstanding effort. I am currently dealing with 10 different Plan Managers and Living My Way surpasses them all in terms of payment time. Thanks so much for the great effort.

Living My Way Member

The Plan Management team have always been very helpful when I’ve had questions about my sons funding and how it can be used and they’ve provided ample warning when funds were about to run out

Living My Way Member

What I like best about Living My Way is they have taken stress from my life in managing my plan and invoices, and helping with anything I am concerned about or information I need about my plan and NDIS.

Living My Way Member

They got me the best wheelchair against all odds and the best NDIS again against all odds. I feel truly cared for.​

Living My Way Member

I have achieved a full and wonderful life in every way and my disability hasn't once held me back. This would have been very different if I hadn't had the support of Self-Directed Living. It is my passion to enable others with disabilities to access the services that Living My Way offer.

Living My Way Member

I do my own recruitment, rosters and day to day management, liaise with my staff and rostering them. I really enjoy doing this. At the end of the day, I am the person they answer to. It's very important to me to have control and choice... My work day can change but I can control and negotiate changes as I manage my staff.

Dee, Living My Way Member

It’s the little things in my life that make the difference, the things other people might take for granted because they are able-bodied. Living My Way has given me the freedom and flexibility to enjoy those little things every day, with those I care about.
