NDIS Mentoring

Good Company Disability Services Pty Ltd is an unregistered provider of NDIS supports. We are not representatives, partners, or affiliates of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) or the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

We provide our services independently and are committed to delivering high-quality support in line with our values and the needs of the people we support.

Nurturing Skill Development. Promoting Holistic Well-being.

At Good Company, we believe that mentoring is more than just guidance—it’s about walking alongside you as you work towards your goals. Our NDIS Mentoring service is designed to support you in developing both practical skills and personal growth, tailored to your unique journey.

We use a practical yet comprehensive approach to mentoring that focuses on the development of both hard and soft skills. Participants are encouraged to direct their own learning and development in line with what they feel is most beneficial to their individual circumstances. Good Company mentors assist in guiding their learning experience, and teaching participants how to identify, access and navigate tools and resources that support them to become increasingly self-sufficient.

Real Support Builds Capacity

What is NDIS Mentoring?

NDIS Mentoring is a capacity-building support that focuses on:

Skill Development: Enhancing both soft and hard skills to navigate daily life more effectively.
Personal Growth: Building confidence, resilience, and self-awareness.
Goal Achievement: Setting and working towards meaningful, achievable goals.
Community Engagement: Encouraging participation in social and community activities.

Our mentors provide personalised support, helping you to overcome challenges and celebrate successes along the way.

How We Support You

Our mentoring approach is flexible and participant-led, focusing on areas that matter most to you:

Soft Skills

These include personality traits and personal attributes that enable you to interact more effectively and harmoniously with other people. Soft skills may come naturally but they can also be taught and developed over time.

Some examples of soft skills include;

Communication: Improving interpersonal skills for better relationships.
Time Management: Organizing tasks and responsibilities efficiently.
Adaptability: Navigating changes and challenges with resilience.
Problem-Solving: Developing strategies to overcome obstacles.

Hard Skills

These are competencies, skills, knowledge, and abilities which can be easily identified and measured. Hard skills are developed in order of relevance to the particular barriers a participant is facing, or the activity they wish to engage in. We prioritise the development of hard skills that are most relevant to the participants individual needs, barriers or intended activities. We encourage the use of accredited training bodies as required, and work with participants to facilitate cohesive learning experiences.

Some examples of hard skills include;

Financial Literacy: Managing budgets and understanding expenses.
Technology Use: Navigating computers and digital tools confidently.
Public Transport Navigation: Building independence in travel.
Daily Living Skills: Enhancing abilities for self-care and household tasks.
