The reveal...
An NDIS worker.
A marketer.
Building from zero, in public.
If you're a recruiter, this is my work ethic on display.
If you're thinking about support work, this might make your transition simpler.
If you're just here for the story... Welcome.
I'm Naveen. I spent 15 years in marketing.
Agencies. Brands. Boardrooms. The whole circus.
I was good at it. Maybe too comfortable in it. And then one day, while in between jobs, I looked around and realised I wanted to do something that mattered. Something where the work showed up in a person's actual life... not a campaign metric. Something where I could be myself and not worry about the next HR intervention or fake smiles and "What did you do over the weekend?"
So I became an NDIS support worker.
A completely different setting that I was used to.
Building something in this sector from the absolute ground floor... no shortcuts, no safety net, no winging it.
This site is the unfiltered account of my experience.
The work. The people. The NDIS system.
The moments that don't make it into grey, dull brochures and websites. What it actually takes to build something in this space when you're starting from zero. What makes it all worth it.
I'll also write about marketing and writing when relevant... because that brain doesn't switch off. And occasionally about my wife, and my daughters (aged 4+ and 2+), who provide more material than I'll ever need.
If you want the sanitised version of NDIS support work, the government website is that way.
If you want the real one, congrats!, you found it
