Assisting people to live life the way they choose

Creating Connections, Building Confidence

A big shoutout to our member RJ for taking a fantastic step towards their goals by becoming involved with St John Ambulance Australia.

This achievement is a wonderful example of building confidence, developing new skills, and creating meaningful connections within the community. We love seeing our Members pursue their passions, embrace new opportunities, and achieve goals that are important to them.

We look forward to following along as this journey continues!

The power of great Independent Living Assistants (ILAs)

Being an ILA is about so much more than assisting people with daily tasks.
It’s about creating daily opportunities for learning, growth and independence.

An everyday task such as shopping can support a range of NDIS goals, including:
Developing independent living skills
Building confidence in the community
Improving communication and social skills
Learning budgeting and money management
Making informed choices and decisions

Our ILAs know when to step in and when to step back, encouraging the people we support to lead their growth, make their own decisions and build independence, one small task at a time.

We love seeing the connections, achievements, and personal growth that happen when people are supported to explore their interests and take on new opportunities.

This is what meaningful support is all about; creating opportunities for confidence, independence, and belonging while celebrating each person’s unique journey.

Here’s to Emma and the amazing progress she continues to make!

Are you an independent support worker looking for the right balance between flexibility and support?

Joining a registered NDIS provider can give you access to a wider range of opportunities, professional development, administrative support, and the confidence that comes with working within a compliant and quality-focused organisation.

At WithNot4, we value the experience, skills, and individuality that support workers bring to our Members. We work hard to create meaningful matches, provide ongoing support, and foster a culture where both Members and workers can thrive.

If you're looking to focus more on delivering great support and less on managing the behind-the-scenes administration, we'd love to hear from you.

Get in touch to learn more about joining our team.

he Right Match Makes All the Difference

At WithNot4, we know that great support starts with genuine connection.

That's why we take the time to carefully match our Members with Independent Living Assistants (ILAs) based on more than just availability. We consider personality, interests, communication styles, goals, and what matters most to each person.

When the right people are matched together, support becomes more than a service. It creates opportunities for trust, shared experiences, and positive outcomes.

Whether it's developing new skills, pursuing personal goals, getting involved in the community, or simply enjoying everyday life, the right match can make all the difference.

Connection. Compatibility. Choice. That's what meaningful support looks like.

With upcoming changes to the NDIS, choosing the right support provider has never been more important.

At WithNot4, we are a registered NDIS provider committed to delivering supports that are:
Safe
Professional
Person-centred
Aligned with NDIS requirements

We work alongside Members (Participants) and their families to ensure quality supports that promote choice, control, and meaningful outcomes.

Whether you're looking for a new provider or exploring your options, our team is here to help.

We’re proud to share feedback from one of our Members. Thank you for your kind words and for trusting WithNot4 with your support journey

We loved seeing Jessianne give archery a go and absolutely enjoy the experience! It’s always exciting to see Members try something new, build confidence, and discover new interests along the way, and getting a bullseye is a pretty great bonus too!

At WithNot4, we’re all about supporting Members to explore new activities, have fun, and continue building skills and independence in ways that matter to them.

If you’re an existing WithNot4 Member in the Eurobodalla region and would like to give archery a try (or explore other new activities), we’d love to hear from you!

We look forward to seeing Jessianne, and others, continue to try new pursuits and enjoy every step of the journey.

Two WithNot4 Staff had a great experience at the Person-Centred Emergency Preparedness (P-CEP) workshop, focusing on inclusive, community-wide planning that puts people’s needs and strengths at the centre of emergency preparedness.

It was a thoughtful and practical session exploring how individuals and communities can build realistic, personalised plans for emergencies, recognising that safety and wellbeing look different for everyone.

Grateful for the opportunity to learn alongside others who are passionate about making emergency planning more accessible, collaborative, and person-centred.

Stay Tuned: More information will be shared with our Members in the coming weeks.

An absolute legend

Congratulations to James on an incredible 25 years of service with his employer! A truly outstanding milestone, we’re proud to support and celebrate you!

At WithNot4, our Independent Life Assistants are passionate about making a real difference; supporting people to achieve their goals, build confidence, and live the life they choose.

We’re incredibly proud of our team and the care, dedication, and heart they bring every day.

It’s the little things that make the biggest difference, a familiar face, a trusted connection, someone who truly understands. Our Independent Living Assistants build genuine relationships grounded in trust, consistency, and care, helping people feel supported through every stage of life.

Because when things change, knowing someone is there for you matters most.

We've loved getting out to some expos this month with some of our behind the scenes team representing us in community

It's been a fantastic opportunity to connect with so many passionate providers and organisations. We're really looking forward to continuing to grow our network and strengthening collaboration across the sector.

Exciting things ahead as we create even more opportunities for our Members and ILAs!

We’re proud to celebrate RJ and the achievements he has made working towards his goals; and to recognise the incredible impact of the right support in achieving great outcomes.

With the consistent encouragement of his ILA support, RJ has built strong routines, confidence, and momentum at the gym. Showing up session after session, he puts in the hard work, brings a positive attitude, and never backs down from a challenge.
This is a great example of how dedicated support, combined with determination, leads to real progress.

We’re so proud of you, RJ and grateful for the teamwork that’s helping you thrive!

Local legend and swimming champion Amy is into day 12 of her Super Swim in the month of February, raising funds for the Starlight Foundation. She is currently well on track to crush her goal of 16km!!

We stopped by the pool to watch her in action, Supported by her WithNot4 ILA Annie, and talk to her about her goal to help sick kids.

Amy likes to channel her inner Little Mermaid (Ariel) while she swims and enjoys a tasty protein ball as her pre-swim fuel.

Amy is proud of herself for tackling this challenge and we are too!

You can help Amy reach her fundraising goal by donating here: https://superswim.org.au/a-foot

Her future’s so bright, she needs to wear shades!

Amy has started 2026 off with a bang! From winning first prize for her art, to stepping confidently into job trials (and successfully securing employment ), and swimming dozens of laps to raise money for the Starlight Foundation. She’s absolutely shining.

It’s been incredible to see Amy grow, achieve, and thrive. We’re so excited for what the rest of the year will bring as we continue working together with everyone who supports her journey.

A beautiful reminder of the impact genuine connection can make. We’re so proud of our team and the meaningful moments they create every day.

Support planning is an important part of the NDIS, and at WithNot4, we see it as more than a requirement. It’s an opportunity to understand what matters to you and support you to explore your interests, build your skills, and work towards your goals.

Your plan should reflect your life, your choices, and your future; because meaningful support starts with what’s important to you.

At WithNot4 we believe invisibility is the quiet, powerful work that happens behind the scenes; the listening, the encouraging, the advocating, and the small everyday moments that help someone else shine. It’s not about being unseen but about putting the focus where it belongs: on the person you support, their voice, their choices, and their independence.

A quick reminder that our next Manual Handling Training session is coming up soon.

If it’s been a while since your last refresher, or you’ve been meaning to book in, this is your sign. Investing a few hours now can make a big difference to your confidence, capability, and long-term wellbeing at work.

Our Members and ILA are having a wonderful time getting creative at the Cozy Creations finger-knitting workshop at WithNot4

There’s nothing better than coming together, learning a new skill, and enjoying some cozy moments (and tea!) along the way.

Looking forward to our second session tomorrow!

SUSAN'S STORY Finding Freedom with WithNot4

For much of her life, Susan was told not to expect independence. “The nuns said, ‘Don’t worry, you’ll get married, have children and won’t need to hear,’” she recalls.

Living with hearing loss shaped many of her choices. She avoided swimming, something she always loved, out of fear of missing her family calling for her if she removed her hearing
aid….

Check out Susan’s full story on our Social Media.

From all of us at WithNot4, we wish our Members, team, and wider community a very Merry Christmas!

Thank you for being part of a year filled with connection, inclusion, and incredible moments. We celebrate the joy of community and the strength we create when we stand with one another.

At WithNot4 we are proud to deliver expert Nursing across Eurobodalla and the Bega Valley. We are putting care and control where it belongs, with you.
