My Supports

My Supports was founded in 2015 by people with a disability and families.

The founders – Jim Cairns, Rex Baker and Terry Mader – saw the NDIS as an opportunity for people with a disability to play a greater role in designing and delivering services.

They believe this will lead to better, more innovative services, due to the experiences and insights people with the lived experience can bring.

Terry and Jim are in wheelchairs, following motorcycle accidents at a young age. Rex was the principal carer for his mother who had MS. Together with volunteers and supporters, My Supports was created by, and for, people with a disability.

Our innovative approach has resonated with over 2,300 NDIS participants.
