About Us
Our Vision
Designer Life is committed to supporting all participants to succeed in creating a better life for themselves. Our services focus on each person, their strengths, and aspirations. Our NDIS services are designed to give participants and their families more choice and control over their lives and the supports they receive.
We are committed to equitable opportunities in mainstream employment and training. Our staff will walk beside you to find employment opportunities and inclusive training services. Our vision doesn’t stop there. By expanding our NDIS services, we can now offer Support Coordination as well as Employment Assistance Programs. We can work with our participants to create group activities and support access to mainstream activities. Our aim is to support individuals in becoming independent, self-supporting members of society. We believe in the importance of reliable, ongoing, and financially stable employment, alongside personalised support that builds skills, confidence, and independence.
We believe everyone deserves the chance to build a brighter future, and we’re here to help make that happen.
