Who this is for
Which one are you?
Support workers who want their own ABN business now, serving self- and plan-managed participants, with a clear path to registration later.
You already do the work. Time to own it.
Every shift, session or visit, the business you work for keeps $25–50 an hour, and the relationships you built sit on their books. You’ve thought about going out on your own and stalled at registration, policies and systems.
Two weeks from now: Registered or trading under your own name, the clients who said they’d follow you signed, invoices going out at the full rate, and room to bring others on under your brand.

Keep the job. Build the asset.
Most side-business ideas leave you with a to-do list. What you want is the finished thing: a site that looks credible, enrolments or bookings that run without you, and paperwork that makes clients say yes.
Two weeks from now: You finish work at five, open the laptop at seven, and see bookings made, invoices paid and one enquiry to reply to. The systems did the admin.

Clean, compliant, no goodwill premium.
Existing businesses come with inflated goodwill, messy books and a seller who is the business. Franchises come with royalties for life.
Two weeks from now: You own a registered, compliant business with clean books from day one, no seller to manage out, and a launch plan already running. Honest note: a setup comes with everything except the customers — if you need revenue in week one, an acquisition may suit you better, and we’ll say so.

No background needed. The build carries you.
What stops most people switching industries isn’t ability — it’s not knowing what they don’t know: which registrations, which policies, what an auditor or a parent checks.
Two weeks from now: Trading, with documents in your name, recruitment materials already attracting applicants, and a training recording you can rewatch.

A new revenue line, bolted on, in weeks.
You can see the adjacent revenue — the clients who ask, the referrals you send elsewhere. Setting it up properly is the project that never gets done.
Two weeks from now: The new line is live under your brand, the first clients came from your existing customer list, and the systems talk to the ones you already use.

Your total time: about 4 hours. Around a job, that’s an evening or two a week.

Compliance guarantee
Everything we write is mapped to the current standards for your industry. If a regulator, auditor, school or insurer raises a non-conformity in our work, we fix it at no charge.
Milestone payments
40% to start, 40% at the middle milestone, 20% at handover. You only ever pay for a stage that's done. Stop at any point and keep everything built so far.
Fixed scope, fixed price
The inclusions list on the page is the contract. No hourly rates, no surprise invoices, no upsell in week three.
Investment
$3,000 inc. GST. Fixed. That's the whole number.
What it replaces
-
Working through an agency or platform $20–30 an hour you never see
-
Piecing it together Weeks of forum reading and a template pack that isn't yours
-
Waiting Another month at the platform rate
At the difference between platform and independent rates, the starter pays for itself in about six weeks of typical hours.

*Registered NDIS and aged care setups: the build is 2 weeks; the regulator’s registration decision typically takes 3–6 months. Honest note: a franchise gives you a recognised name and an acquisition gives you day-one revenue. If either matters more than ownership and margin, we’ll tell you on the call.
FAQ
The things you're wondering
Can I work with any participant?
Self- and plan-managed participants, yes. Agency-managed participants require registration — that’s the Provider setup.
Do I need Worker Screening?
Yes for most supports, and it’s required by many plan managers regardless. We walk you through it in week one.
Can I upgrade?
Yes — the full $3,000 is credited against the registered NDIS Provider setup within six months.
Is a website necessary?
Plan managers and families do check. One professional page is enough to start.
What if I get halfway and can't continue?
You stop at the last completed stage and keep everything built to that point. Milestone payments mean this is never a sunk cost.
How do I know you'll deliver?
Watch the walkthrough, open the demo, and note that you pay in stages — we only get paid when each stage is done. Nemco has built businesses for clients since 2013.

Setup Finder quiz
Not sure this is the right setup? Two minutes will tell you.
Six questions on experience, interest, knowledge, time, budget and goals. Rules-based, honest, and it will say “not yet” if that’s the answer.
Two minutes. Six questions. An honest steer.
Experience, interest, knowledge, time, budget and what you're after — we score all six setups and tell you the best fit, the runner-up, or "not yet". It's a guide; the 20-minute call confirms it.

Ready to find out if this fits?
Twenty minutes, no pitch. We’ll tell you honestly whether this setup, the starter, or nothing at all is right for where you’re coming from.
P.S. The $3,000 is a one-off. Whatever it replaces for you — the margin your employer keeps, the royalties, the goodwill, the months of evenings — is not.
Deposit secures your start date and covers Stage 1; refundable in full if Stage 1 hasn’t started. Milestone payments due on completion of each stage. Services agreement follows payment. Regulator, audit and insurance fees are paid by you directly. Nemco Group · ABN 95 164 685 849.
