Support that starts with genuine connection.

Hi, I’m Lachie. For more than eight years I have been providing independent disability support to people living with disability across Dunsborough, Busselton and the South West of WA. I believe that every client is different, and that the best NDIS support starts with a trusting relationship and taking the time to understand each of my clients as the unique and incredible person they are.

Meet Lachie

Hi, I’m Lachie.

For more than eight years I’ve supported people living with disability across Dunsborough, Busselton and the South West. I hold a Bachelor of Counselling, which has helped me build strong relationships and understand my clients on a deeper level. I believe great support is about genuine connection and an individualised approach that fits the person.

Every person has their own story, strengths, interests and goals. Getting to know those things is my favourite part of the job. Support should never feel like simply filling hours in the day. It should feel like spending time with someone who genuinely enjoys your company, believes in your potential and wants to help you build a life that feels meaningful to you.

Living in Dunsborough and working across the South West has shaped who I am. The ocean, beaches and outdoors are where I feel most at home, and I love helping people experience the incredible places we have on our doorstep whenever it aligns with their own interests and goals.

Who I Am

Outside of work you’ll usually find me somewhere near the water.

I love fishing, surfing, bodyboarding, watching the footy, exploring the South West, camping and spending as much time outdoors as I can. Sometimes my clients enjoy sharing those experiences too. Other times disability support might look completely different: coffee in Dunsborough, appointments in Busselton, visiting local markets, achieving a personal goal or simply a relaxed conversation. Every person is different. That’s exactly how I believe support should be.

My Approach

Support built around people, not programs.

No two people are the same. That’s why I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all support.

I take the time to get to know each of my clients—their interests, routines, strengths and goals—so we can create support that feels enjoyable, meaningful and genuinely helpful.

Some days that might involve getting outdoors and exploring the South West. Other days it could be learning a new skill, catching up over coffee, attending appointments in Dunsborough or Busselton, or simply sharing a good conversation. The activity isn’t the focus. The person is.

Life Together

Some of life’s best moments are surprisingly simple.

Watching a sunset. Sharing a coffee. Trying something new. Going fishing. Walking on the beach. Laughing together. Building confidence. Feeling connected. These are often the moments that matter most.

My support is local, familiar and built around real life in the South West.

Making the NDIS Simpler

Local NDIS support without having to figure it all out alone.

Starting with the NDIS or changing supports can sometimes feel overwhelming. Alongside providing personalised disability support in Dunsborough, Busselton and the South West, I’m always happy to help my clients and families better understand their options and connect with trusted services.

For plan management, my preferred partner is Capital Guardians. They provide friendly, professional support with invoices, funding and provider connections. I’m also available through Mable, where you can view my support worker profile and connect with me directly. All my clients always have complete choice and control over who they work with, and I’m equally happy to support people with their existing arrangements.
