You're Good at Your Job.
The System Just Wasn't
Built for You.
If any of these land, you're in exactly the right place.
You're exhausted, not by nursing, by the environment
The culture, the politics, the short staffing. You still love caring for people, it's the system that's draining you.
You know your skills are worth more than your pay cheque
You've built real clinical expertise over years. You just don't know yet how to package and price it on your own terms.
The idea of leaving feels terrifying, even though you want to
"What if it doesn't work?" "I'll lose my leave entitlements." "I don't know the first thing about running a business."
You've Googled NDIS registration and immediately felt overwhelmed
The paperwork, the compliance, the "where do I even start?", it's enough to make you shut the laptop and go back to the ward.
You Don't Have to Choose Between Security and Freedom.
Here's what shifts when you have the right roadmap:
Right Now
"I can't do another double shift, but management just doesn't care."
Pre-shift anxiety, not knowing what you're walking into.
Financial ceiling, no matter how hard you work, the pay stays the same.
Feeling like a cog in the machine, invisible and undervalued.
Staying only because leaving feels too risky
After This Program
Waking up without an alarm, choosing your start time.
Clients who value your expertise — and pay you accordingly.
An NDIS practice that's registered, compliant, and genuinely yours.
The freedom to give patients the time they actually deserve.
Income that reflects your skill — not a union-negotiated rate.
We Figured It Out
the Hard Way. You Don't Have To.
When NDIS nursing was first introduced, there was no roadmap. No course. No mentor. Steph and Ben built First Light Nursing from scratch, making and learning from every mistake so you won't have to make them too.
How First Light Nursing Began
It started with a passing conversation. Ben was treating a client who happened to work in the NDIS. He mentioned, almost offhandedly, that it would be amazing if nursing funding existed under the scheme. Her reply stopped him cold:
"It actually just has. It's only just been released."
That moment felt like a sign. The questions that followed turned into ideas. The ideas turned into First Light Nursing, built from day one, before any guides existed, before anyone had figured out what NDIS nursing even looked like in practice.
They learned by doing. By getting it wrong. By figuring out continence assessments from scratch, decoding who does what inside the NDIS ecosystem, and building a team of six, all without a single mentor who'd been there before.
5+ years inside NDIS nursing
Not theory. Not just research. Steph has lived every stage of building an NDIS nursing practice firsthand.
Scaled it to a team of 6
Every system, every mistake, every shortcut they teach has been tested in the real world.
Steph knows the clinical side inside out. Ben knows how to build the business around it.
NDIS compliance, funding structures, pricing, registration and patient care — all covered. You don't need anyone else.
Steph
RN · NDIS Business Mentor
Steph came from a family of nurses — caring for others was never a choice, it was just who she was. After years moving between hospital wards, she kept finding herself drawn back to disability care. But inside the hospital system, there was no clear pathway to get there.
It wasn't nursing she wanted to leave. It was the environment. After experiencing burnout, she made the leap — starting NDIS work part-time while still employed, then building her own practice. Within five years, she'd grown a team of six.
She chose to step away on her own terms — and now channels everything she learned into helping nurses fast-track the journey she had to figure out alone.
Ben
Physiotherapist · Director
Ben graduated as a physiotherapist in 2016 and spent his early years working across occupational and musculoskeletal physio in Mount Isa before relocating to Coffs Harbour. But it was an offhand comment in a client session that quietly changed everything — and set First Light Nursing in motion.
He knows what it feels like to start an ABN with no reference point. Coming from a family where "get a good job" was the only financial model he'd seen, setting up his own business felt exposing. He did it anyway — and has been building ever since.
Since 2018, Ben has owned and operated a physiotherapy practice, nursing business, early childhood intervention clinic, and behaviour support company. He remains actively involved in the NDIS through his behaviour support company and physiotherapy practice, as well as supporting nurses to optimise their own NDIS businesses.
NDIS Business Blueprint:
The Complete 8-Week Roadmap
Every module builds on the last — moving you from overwhelmed and uncertain to confident and operational.
1
The Story Behind This — and Why It Matters for Yours
You'll hear how First Light Nursing started, and you'll meet Kate. Her story isn't polished. It's honest, and there's a good chance you'll recognise yourself in it. Before we get into the how, you need to understand the why. Everything makes more sense after this module.
Week 1
2
Get Ready, Get Out There
Before you see a single participant, there are six things you need sorted. Not twenty. Not a business plan. Six. Most nurses assume the list is longer than it is, and that assumption alone keeps them stuck. We cover each one simply, then get into something about starting that most nurses have completely wrong — and once you see it differently, the whole thing becomes a lot less dauntin.
Week 2
3
How To Actually Get Participants
This is the module most nurses say they needed years ago. NDIS participants don't come the way hospital work does. The referral pathways, the relationships, the language you use — it's a different world, and most of it isn't written down anywhere. We show you exactly where your first participants come from and how to reach them. Steph and Ben's stories alone will change how you feel about getting your first participants.
Week 2-4
4
Securing Your First Paying Participants & Delivering Services
This is where thousands of dollars are won or lost, and most nurses have no idea it's happening. The NDIS funds far more than the clinical work you do in the room. But what you can claim, what it's called, and how it needs to be written up and presented is nothing like what you've done in any other nursing setting. Clinical skills will only get you so far in the NDIS, so this module covers everything you need to know to stand out from the crowd, while remaining compliant.
Week 4-6
5
Build It So It Doesn't Run You
There's a point where what got you started starts to hold you back. This module covers the tools, systems and decisions that turn a few participants into something you can actually grow without it taking over your life.
Week 6-8
Everything in One Place
No scattered Facebook groups. No expensive consultants. Just a clear, practical program designed specifically for nurses.
5 Self-Paced Modules
Pre-recorded lessons you can watch in your own time — on shift days, days off, whenever works for you. Yours to keep.
Fortnightly Live Q&A Sessions
Because a course without a human behind it is just a PDF. Ask your real questions and get real answers from someone who's done it.
Checklists and Guides
Step by step guides and checklists so you always know where you are in the process and what you need to do next.
Templates
All the nursing specific NDIS templates you need to get started; this includes, service agreements, invoicing, intake forms and clinical note templates.
Private Community
A small, high-quality group of nurses going through the same process. Share wins, ask questions, and stay accountable together.
Referral Network Workbook
Practical outreach scripts and a contact-building strategy designed for nurses, not salespeople.
Three Steps.
That's All It Takes.
You've done the hard part — you recognised that something needs to change. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you decide to do something about it.
Secure Your Spot
Twelve places. That's it. Once they're gone, pioneer pricing goes with them and the next cohort pays more for less access to Steph and Ben. If this feels right, don't sit on it.
Get Instant Access to the NDIS Business Blueprint
The moment you sign up, you'll get your confirmation, access to the community, and a clear picture of what's ahead. Modules are released as the cohort moves through the program together — and from that point, the momentum starts to build.
Join Steph and Ben Live
Your first live session is on the 11th of April. After that, sessions run fortnightly. This is where the real questions get answered — the ones you couldn't find on Google, the ones you didn't know you had until you started, and the ones that will directly affect how much you earn.
Still working full time? No problem. Every module is pre-recorded and available on demand. The only scheduled commitment is the fortnightly live session — and replays are always available if you can't make it live.
Yes, This Is Our First Cohort.
That's Exactly Why You Want In.
We're not going to dress this up as something it isn't. This is the first time we're running NDIS Business Blueprint as a live cohort.
What that means for you: direct, personal access to Steph and Ben throughout the entire program. Your questions shape the content. Your feedback makes it better. And you get founding-member pricing that will never be available again once this cohort is full.
We've walked this road ourselves. Since NDIS nursing funding was released, through building a team of six, through every mistake the system let us make. This isn't theory. It's a roadmap built from doing it, and you're getting the whole thing.
Pioneer pricing is your reward for going first. Once this cohort closes, it's gone, and the next group of nurses will pay more for less access to us.

$997 Is Not the
Expensive Option.
These Are.
Before you decide, it's worth being honest about what the alternatives actually cost you.
Keep Working the Hospital Shifts
Every year you stay in a system that's burning you out costs more than money. It costs your energy, your autonomy, and the compounding income you could have been building. There is no neutral — staying is also a choice, and it has a price.
Figuring Out the NDIS Without a Roadmap
This is where most nurses lose real money. The NDIS funds nursing supports generously — but only if you claim correctly. Clinical knowledge from hospital practice doesn't translate directly to NDIS billing. The support categories, line items, and report structures that unlock full funding work differently in private practice. Nurses who go in without this knowledge routinely under-claim, sometimes by thousands of dollars per participant, per year.
One Participant Correctly Invoiced and Serviced.
You've recovered the investment with your first participant!
The gap between what you could bill and what you do bill is exactly what this program closes. Everything after your first participant is the return.
Honest Answers.
The questions you might have before deciding to enroll.
I'm still working full time. Do I have the time for this?
The modules are pre-recorded, so you watch them when it suits you. The only scheduled commitment is the fortnightly live Q&A — roughly 60 minutes, and replays are available. Most nurses in this cohort are working while they build. That's the whole point.
I have no business experience at all. Is this too advanced for me?
No business experience is assumed. This program starts from scratch — from what NDIS actually is, to setting up your ABN, to finding your first participant. If you can manage a complex patient load, you can learn this.
This is a pioneer cohort — should I wait for the "finished" version?
The content is finished. What makes this a pioneer is the live cohort format and the direct access to Steph and Ben. Founding members get a lower price, more personal attention, and the ability to shape what gets added. Waiting means paying more for less access.
Is NDIS nursing actually sustainable income — or just a side hustle?
It depends on how you build it. Many nurses start part-time and transition fully once they have stable clients. NDIS price limits for nursing supports are set by the NDIA — they're reasonable rates and the demand for skilled nurses is consistent. This program helps you build it sustainably, not just quickly.
What if I start and decide it's not for me?
If within the first two weeks you genuinely feel the program isn't what you needed, reach out and we'll talk. This cohort is small — I want everyone in it to be there for the right reasons, and I'd rather have an honest conversation than a disengaged member of the cohort.
The Only Difference Between
Here and There Is a First Step.
Steph and Ben didn't have a guide when they started. You do. You just have to decide to use it.
