A tight radius is deliberate. It is what makes the same worker, on time, every week, possible.

I am Levent, and Undivided is my practice. It is small on purpose. You are matched to one worker, and that is who turns up, week after week.

I have spent years in wellbeing and community support, with people at very different stages of life and with very different needs. Some of those supports have run for years with the same person, which is the part I am proudest of, because nobody should have to explain their story from scratch every few months. It is also why the notes that go back to a coordinator, plan manager or provider are the kind they can actually use.

Between us we speak English, Turkish and Portuguese, and I have sat with families who were talked over before anyone listened. You will not have to do that here.

Levent

The team

A small team, on purpose.

Three people, not a roster of thirty. You are matched to one worker and that is who turns up.

Nobody works a shift here until their checks are complete. NDIS Worker Screening, Working with Children Check and National Police Check are verified before a worker meets a participant, not after. You will only ever be offered a worker who has cleared it.

Why this practice?

Every shift has a purpose. Every session is documented. Every family gets a straight answer.

01

Qualified and current

Formal community services qualification, alongside daily frontline wellbeing practice. Support shaped by work I am doing right now, not a weekend course.

02

Present, not passive

Active, structured and documented. Formally trained in case management, so case notes are detailed, accurate and genuinely useful to your coordinator, not a tick box.

03

Genuinely inclusive

Turkish speaking, with conversational Arabic and deep experience supporting people from migrant backgrounds. A safe and welcoming practice for everyone, whatever your story, culture or identity.

What I do

Support built around your goals, not around a roster.

Social and community participation

Structured community access with clear goals, not aimless outings.

Youth engagement and reengagement

Young people disconnected from school, training or community.

Life and independent living skills

Cooking, budgeting, transport, appointments, routines, digital literacy.

Culturally responsive support

Turkish spoken directly, Portuguese and Arabic arranged on request, navigating services with migrant families.

Mental health and psychosocial support

Recovery focused support, regulation strategies, building structure.

Family and stakeholder liaison

Notes and reporting for coordinators, plan managers, schools and clinicians.

Who I work with

Matched to one worker who stays yours.

NDIS participants, self managed and plan managed
Privately funded individuals and families
Young people referred through schools and youth services
People from migrant and refugee backgrounds
People of all cultures, identities and walks of life
Adults living with psychosocial disability

How it works

Three steps, no runaround.

01

Reach out

Call, text, email or send the form. You talk to a person directly, in English or Turkish, not a call centre.

02

Meet and plan

A relaxed first conversation about goals, needs and fit. A clear written service agreement is signed before any support begins.

03

Support begins

Sessions built around your goals and documented afterward, with invoices going straight to you or your plan manager.

Rates

Clear rates, and more of your plan left over.

Ten hours funded at the NDIS maximum buys more than eleven hours here.

The NDIS sets a maximum price for each type of support. Undivided charges below every one of them, so the same funding reaches further into your year.
Weekday daytime You pay$66/hr NDIS maximum$73.58 Stays in your plan$7.58
Weekday evening You pay$72/hr NDIS maximum$81.07 Stays in your plan$9.07
Saturday You pay$92/hr NDIS maximum$103.54 Stays in your plan$11.54
Sunday You pay$118/hr NDIS maximum$133.50 Stays in your plan$15.50
Public holiday You pay$145/hr NDIS maximum$163.46 Stays in your plan$18.46

The difference is not a discount on the support. There is no office, no rostering team and no management layer to fund here. That is the whole of the gap, and it stays in your plan rather than in an agency's overheads.

Overnight support
$290 per night
Transport
$1 per km

Included in every hour

Part of the support, not billed separately.
·Case notes written up after each session, in a form your coordinator can actually use
·The session planned before it starts, rather than worked out on the day
·The same worker each time, matched to you rather than rostered
·Contact with your coordinator, plan manager or school whenever it is needed

A written service agreement sets out rates, cancellations and everything else before support begins. NDIS supports are GST free. Private rates are the same and include GST where it applies.

Common questions

The things people ask before they call.

Can we meet first, before committing to anything?

Yes, and I would prefer it. The first conversation costs nothing and carries no obligation. We talk about what you are looking for, you get a sense of whether I am the right fit, and either of us can say it is not. Nothing starts until a service agreement is signed.

How does invoicing work if I am plan managed?

Invoices go straight to your plan manager, with the support item, date, hours and rate set out clearly. You do not pay anything yourself and you do not have to chase it. Self managed participants receive the invoice directly, and privately funded clients are invoiced the same way.

Are you a registered NDIS provider?

No, and that is lawful. It means Undivided can work with you if your plan is self managed or plan managed, but cannot invoice an NDIA managed plan. Nothing else changes. The NDIS Code of Conduct applies to registered and unregistered providers alike, and you can raise a complaint with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission on 1800 035 544 at any time.

Which parts of Melbourne do you cover?

Support is based in Melbourne's north and north east, so Bundoora, Preston, Reservoir, Heidelberg, Greensborough, Epping, Mill Park and Thomastown, and across the Whittlesea, Darebin and Banyule council areas. If you are further out, ask anyway. Travel is charged at $1 per kilometre and agreed with you in writing before support starts, so there are no surprises.

What happens if it is not the right fit?

You say so, and it ends. No awkwardness and no pressure. The service agreement sets out notice periods in plain language, and I will help you hand over to another worker or service if that is useful.

Do you have availability right now?

Yes, I am taking new participants. Because this is a small practice by design, capacity is genuinely limited, so days and times are worked out with each person rather than slotted into a roster. Tell me what you are after and I will be honest about whether I can offer it rather than stringing you along.

My family does not speak English at home. Can you work with us directly?

Turkish is spoken here directly, without an interpreter in the room. Türkçe konuşuyoruz. Portuguese, Arabic and other languages can be arranged, either with a worker who speaks your language or a free interpreter through TIS National.

What do you actually write down, and who sees it?

Session notes record what was worked on, what progress looked like and anything that needs following up. They go to you, and to your coordinator or plan manager if you want them to. Nothing is shared beyond that without your consent, unless there is a serious risk to someone's safety, which I would talk to you about wherever possible.

For coordinators and plan managers

Everything you need to make the referral.

You are placing someone in another person's care and your name goes on that decision. Here is what you would otherwise have to ring and ask.

Capacity

Taking new participants now

Tell me the days and hours you are trying to fill and you will get a straight yes or no, not a waitlist that never moves.

Response

Answered the same day

Referrals are answered the same day wherever possible, and always by the next business day. You will not have to follow up to find out where it landed.

Documentation

Notes written for plan reviews

Case notes after every session, written against the goals in the plan and kept to what was observed, so they can be quoted or lifted straight into a review or a report. What was worked on, what changed, what needs following up. Happy to use your template.

Invoicing and compliance

Invoices that do not bounce back

The support item number and name taken from the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements, not from memory, with the date, hours, rate, participant reference, GST treatment and ABN 18 086 680 620 on every invoice, sent to the plan manager rather than the participant. NDIS Worker Screening, Working with Children Check, National Police Check, public liability and professional indemnity. Certificates on request.

Registration status

Self managed and plan managed

Undivided is not a registered NDIS provider. That is lawful, and it means self managed and plan managed participants only, as an NDIA managed plan cannot be invoiced. The NDIS Code of Conduct applies either way, and no regulated restrictive practice is implemented here.

Safety and complaints

If something is wrong, you should be able to say so.

Tell me directly

Call 0414 424 124 or email hello@undividedcommunitysupport.com.au. Complaints are acknowledged within two business days and never affect the support you receive.

Or go straight past me

You do not have to come to me first. The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission takes complaints about any provider on 1800 035 544, including anonymously.

In an emergency

This is not a crisis service. If someone is in immediate danger call 000. For support in a crisis, Lifeline is available any hour on 13 11 14.
