About Us

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.

Designer Life is a wholly Australian-owned and operated business with its head office in Brisbane. We provide accredited training, employment assistance, and NDIS services to participants across Queensland.

As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), our experienced trainers deliver nationally recognised training alongside practical, outcomes-focused support.

As a registered NDIS provider, we offer tailored NDIS services including:

• Support Coordination
• Youth Employment Assistance Program
• Employment Supports: Finding and Keeping a Job
• School Leaver Supports, support to move from school into employment or further learning.
• Assistance with Daily Living – designed to empower you to explore living options.

Our experienced Career Coaches provide personalised, one-on-one support to prepare job seekers for meaningful employment. We work closely with local employers to meet recruitment needs and create genuine job opportunities through work placements.

At our Caboolture Career Centre, we’ve established our own café, a real-world training environment where participants learn, practise and build industry-ready skills.

Our ongoing commitment to our participants has driven continual, consistent growth over the past 25 years, and delivered exceptional completion rates across all our programs.

As we grow our NDIS services, we’re focused on offering new and meaningful opportunities to communities across Queensland. Our success is powered by an incredible team who share a deep commitment to training and a strong motivation to help participants become confident, independent, and self-supporting members of the community.
