Empowering people with disability in Melbourne to build businesses, share ideas, and grow with confidence.
Entrepreneurship is more than just starting a business—it’s about creativity, resilience, and turning ideas into reality. At Good Company Disability Services, we know that many people living with disability have the passion and talent to succeed in business but need the right environment to learn, connect, and be supported.
Our Entrepreneurs Support and Mentoring in Melbourne provides exactly that: a safe, inclusive space where existing and aspiring business owners can share their experiences, develop new skills, and find encouragement from business mentors.
A Supportive Pathway for Emerging and Existing Business Owners
Building a business is more than simply creating a product or service. It involves clarity of vision, meaningful planning, the ability to adapt to uncertainty, and the confidence to keep moving forward even when challenges arise. Many people find that having someone who understands this journey makes a significant difference. Our coaching sessions offer encouragement alongside practical guidance so that you feel supported, informed, and empowered to explore what is possible.
These sessions are suitable for people at all stages of the entrepreneurial journey. Some individuals arrive with only a concept they wish to test and develop. Others come with an existing business and seek support in refining systems, improving marketing, reviewing products or pricing, or strengthening their long-term strategy. Some simply want someone to talk through their ideas with—someone who can offer both an informed perspective and steady reassurance. No matter your starting point, the aim of each session is to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
During your coaching time, you may explore areas such as understanding your target audience, building a clear business identity, developing a realistic growth plan, strengthening your online presence, improving day-to-day operations, or navigating the earliest stages of self-employment. Guidance is practical and grounded in real experience, ensuring that you gain insights that are both relevant and achievable. The goal is not only to support you in building a successful enterprise but to help you develop the mindset and skills that sustain long-term progress.

Real Support Builds Capacity
How Our Coaching Sessions Work
Sessions are delivered online, providing easy access regardless of your location. This format allows you to work with your coach in a private and focused environment, where you can discuss ideas openly and at a pace that suits you. Each hour-long meeting is structured around your goals for the session. Some people use the time to unpack a challenge they are currently facing. Others prefer to work gradually through business planning, developing stronger organisational habits, or exploring opportunities for growth.
Because the service operates on a flexible, pay-as-you-go model, you can book coaching only when you need it. This gives you complete control over the frequency and intensity of your support. There is no requirement to attend weekly, join a group, or commit to a program. Instead, you can simply return for additional sessions whenever you want guidance, reassurance, or a fresh perspective.
The focus is always on creating an environment that is professional, respectful, and encouraging. By working collaboratively with your coach, you will be guided to understand challenges more clearly, recognise your strengths, and build strategies that align with your personal and business aspirations.
Why People Choose This Service
Many individuals choose hourly coaching because it provides a flexible, personalised alternative to group-based support. Instead of navigating your business questions alone, you have access to a mentor who can offer perspective, help you make decisions, and guide you through areas that may feel unclear or unfamiliar. Over time, many people experience improvements in communication, confidence, planning, and the ability to take thoughtful action toward their goals.
The value of online coaching goes far beyond business skills. It can help cultivate a mindset of resilience, problem-solving, and long-term thinking. For many, this support becomes an anchor point—something that helps maintain momentum, encourages new ideas, and strengthens belief in their own capabilities. The aim is not only to help your business grow but to empower you as a business owner and decision-maker.
