NFP & Community Health
Practical strategy and decision support for mission-driven health organisations
I work with not-for-profit and community health providers delivering Allied Health, NDIS and aged care services to strengthen sustainability, improve operating models, and navigate reform without losing sight of purpose.
The reality for NFP and community providers
Community health and not-for-profit organisations operate in a uniquely difficult space.
They are expected to:
deliver high-quality, person-centred care
remain financially viable under constrained funding
respond to constant policy and program change
attract and retain a skilled workforce
meet rising governance and reporting expectations
These pressures are amplified in Allied Health, disability and aged care, where margins are tight and delivery models are complex.
Sustainability and mission are not competing goals. They have to be designed together.
My lens
I have led and scaled Allied Health services inside:
NDIS
community aged care
residential aged care
mixed public and private funding environments
That includes building workforce models, pricing structures, and service systems that had to satisfy:
funders
regulators
boards
and the people delivering care
I also hold a Graduate Diploma of Gerontology, which informs how I think about ageing, function, independence and what good community-based care actually looks like.
This gives me a practical understanding of how NFPs and community providers sit inside the broader health and care system.
My work is typically used when organisations need to:
strengthen financial and operational sustainability
respond to NDIS or aged care reform
redesign or scale Allied Health services
sense-check strategy and growth plans
improve governance, systems and delivery models
Common areas of support include:
pricing and viability analysis
workforce and contractor models
service model design across community and residential settings
Support at Home readiness
NDIS pricing and reform impacts
workflow, systems and reporting design
How I support NFP and community health organisations
Where this support fits
This work supports:
small and mid-sized community health organisations
large NFPs with Allied Health divisions
disability and aged care providers with mixed funding
boards and executive teams navigating change
Engagements range from:
short advisory or mentoring support
to defined projects
to ongoing fractional strategy and operations input
What I bring to NFP and community organisations
I bring:
deep Allied Health and service delivery experience
financial and operational realism
reform and funding literacy
independence from service delivery
a track record of building scalable, compliant service models
This allows boards and executives to make decisions with clearer visibility of risk, trade-offs and long-term sustainability.
How this work is delivered
Support is typically provided through:
mentoring and executive support
strategy and implementation projects
ongoing advisory retainers
collaboration with internal teams or external consultants
The structure depends on the organisation’s size, complexity and stage of change.
Next steps
If you are leading or supporting a not-for-profit or community health organisation and want clearer footing through reform, growth or operational change, a short conversation is the best place to start.
