Built for NDIS participants with a work goal at any starting point
If you’ve never worked and aren’t sure where to begin, or you’ve held jobs in the past but
couldn’t keep them, you’re not failing. You’re sitting in the gap between the NDIS and DES/IEA (Disability Employment Services / Individualised Employment Assistance) - and that gap is where most employment journeys break down.
Stable & Grounded fills that gap. Our Tailored Vocational Rehabilitation Counselling service builds the work capacity, confidence and self-knowledge a DES/IEA provider expects you to already have. This isn’t job-placement and it doesn’t duplicate what your DES/IEA provider does. It’s the work that has to happen before placement is likely to last — and the ‘Keep the Job’ support that helps it last once it begins.
Stable & Grounded services focus on:
- Building functional capacity
- Strengthening emotional and behavioural skills
- Supporting adjustment to injury, illness, and life change
- Increasing independence and psychosocial safety
- Preparing individuals for education, employment, and community participation
Who We Help:
You've never worked. You’re not sure where to start, what work would suit you, or whether you can hold a job at all. We start with capacity, not pressure.
You've had jobs but couldn’t keep them. The pattern looks like failure. It’s actually a support gap. We unpack what didn’t work and build the foundation that lasts.
You're a support coordinator. Your participant needs capacity-building before a
DES/IEA referral can succeed. We’re the missing step in the pathway — and we report back.
Our Principles
Stable & Grounded was built on the premise that experience precedes insight. We recognised the need for a professional, high-feedback environment where individuals could practice regulation in real-time.
Do what we say we will do:
Collaborate and deliver
Function Over Abstract Improvement:
We focus on the ability to work, communicate, and navigate daily life.
Experience Over Insight:
We provide the feedback loops required to master new responses in real-time.
Complementary, Not Alternative:
We act as an adjunct support that enhances the work of GPs and psychologists.

Founder Statement
"Stable & Grounded exists because people understand their problems but often cannot regulate themselves through them or are supported with practical implementation. Our work is intentionally grounded, professional, and outcome-oriented. We don't compete with clinical systems; we complement them by providing the practical solutions needed for real-world progress."
