Consistent Quality

We hold ourselves accountable to a high standard in all interactions.

Our History

In the early 1980s a group of people with severe physical disabilities, led by disability rights advocate, the late Kevin Byrne AM fought for their rights to manage their own funding package. Following a successful fight, the Commonwealth Government invited 24 individuals with varying disabilities and lifestyles to apply for the opportunity to participate in a pilot study that would enable them to have choice and control by becoming a registered employer. The two year pilot was ground breaking and unheard of in the world of disability and was deemed a success. Following on from the learnings from this successful pilot study Living My Way Limited was formed in 1992. 

Evolution

The Commonwealth Government pilot study allowed for the first time people with a disability to be in the driver’s seat. It meant their needs were met, their hours could be adaptable to suit each individual lifestyle and offered flexibility that enables the pursuit of social, recreational and career objectives. This self-managed approached continued to grow over time under the Aging, Disability and Home Care funding which in turn increased the number of Members to Living My Way. This approach allowed Living My Way Members to manage and support their own needs and choices with flexibility to employ their own staff and changing needs. In 2013 yet another ground breaking funding scheme was announced by the Australian Federal Government the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) which rolled out nationally from 1 July 2016. The NDIS continues to be based on the same principles of the pilot study back in the early 1980s that people with disabilities should have choice and control of their own funding, needs and life.

Our Future

Living My Way will continuously improve and offer quality supports to Members and support them to be empowered and continue to live self-directed lives. Led by a Board that consists of several Members with a disability from a range of professional backgrounds who fully understand the importance of being in control and extending themselves to the fullest extent possible. Living My Way’s future looks bright in this evolving and changing disability landscape and looks forward to continuing to support Members for many more years to come.

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 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

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.

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.
