Our Projects

Project One : The Warehouse

At Your AT, our mission has always been crystal clear: to leverage our platform and profits to foster meaningful change. We’re chuffed to announce our first significant project, a step that epitomises our commitment to inclusivity and empowerment.

Creating Opportunities through Our New Warehouse:

We’re excited to lay the foundation stone of our social impact initiatives by opening a new warehouse. This facility isn’t just a place for storing stock; it’s a hub of opportunity, intentionally designed to be fully accessible and inclusive. Here, disabled individuals won’t only find employment but will engage in meaningful roles that offer full wages and the respect they deserve.

Why a Warehouse?

Our decision to open a warehouse stems from our desire to directly tackle unemployment among disabled Australians, who often encounter significant barriers in the job market. This warehouse will serve as a beacon of change, providing not just jobs but careers to those who have been sidelined for too long.

Expanding Our Impact Beyond Employment:

While providing employment is a crucial part of our mission, we see opportunities to broaden our impact even further.

Training and Development Programmes:

We will offer tailored training programmes to help our employees gain new skills and advance in their careers, ensuring they have growth opportunities and pathways to leadership roles within our organisation.

Community Engagement Spaces:

Part of our warehouse will be dedicated to community engagement. This space will host workshops, seminars, and events that foster a supportive community for disabled individuals and their families.

Sustainable Practices:

Our warehouse operations will be grounded in sustainability. From energy-efficient building designs to waste reduction protocols, we’re committed to minimising our environmental footprint.

Partnerships with Disability Advocates:

We will collaborate with disability advocacy groups to ensure our practices meet the needs and expectations of the community we serve. These partnerships will help us stay informed and responsive to the needs of our employees and customers.

This warehouse project is just the beginning. With every purchase you make at Your AT, you’re not just buying a product; you’re investing in a brighter, more inclusive future. We invite you to join us on this journey, support our cause, and help us make a real difference.

Stay tuned for updates on our progress and learn more about how you can get involved. Together, we can build a world where everyone has the opportunity to work, grow, and thrive.

Project Two : Flexible Employment for our loved ones

At Your AT, our passion for social change drives every initiative we embark on.

Building on the anticipated success of our first project—our inclusive warehouse initiative—we’re keen to share our next step: a groundbreaking plan to provide flexible employment options for caregivers within our team.

Planning for a Flexible Future:

Acknowledging the unique challenges faced by those caring for loved ones with disabilities, our upcoming project is geared towards enhancing workplace flexibility. This initiative is designed to help our employees manage their professional duties alongside their personal commitments more seamlessly.

Proposed Flexible Employment Opportunities

Looking forward to broadening our support, here’s what we plan to introduce:

Adaptive Work Schedules:

We will offer flexible work hours that allow employees to manage medical appointments, therapy sessions, and other essential caregiving duties without the risk of job loss.

Remote Work Options:

Where job roles allow, we will enable working from home, allowing employees to be present for their loved ones when most needed.

Supportive Workplace Culture:

We aim to cultivate an environment where team members feel supported in sharing their caregiving needs. This includes providing sensitivity and support training for all our management staff.

Guaranteed Job Security:

We are committed to ensuring job security for employees who need to adjust their schedules or take leave to care for family members, making sure they don’t have to choose between their job and their loved ones.

Engagement with Families:

Recognising that each situation is unique, we plan to work directly with family members to tailor our support effectively, meeting the specific needs of our employees and their loved ones.

This future initiative reflects our commitment to creating a truly inclusive workplace that adapts to the needs of all employees. At Your AT, we’re dedicated to leading by example, showing that a supportive and flexible work environment is not just possible but beneficial for everyone involved.

Stay tuned for updates on our progress and support our journey towards this future initiative. Your ongoing support enables us to innovate and offer meaningful solutions that extend beyond conventional employment boundaries.

Project Three : Plan Review and AAT Assistance

At Your AT, we are proud to introduce Project 3, an initiative designed to tackle the complexities and challenges that many encounter when dealing with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) regarding their NDIS plans. We understand the critical importance of navigating NDIS plan management and reviews, where every detail matters in securing necessary support and services. Project 3 is here to provide specialised guidance and assistance, ensuring every participant is empowered to advocate effectively for their rights and obtain the benefits they rightfully deserve.

Services to be Offered by Your AT’s Review Team:

Our initiative offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to assist NDIS participants:

• Independent Plan Review Assistance: Our expert team is ready to assist participants in preparing for their plan review. We work closely with you to understand your current needs, suggest necessary adjustments, and ensure that your plan aligns with your long-term goals.
• Support Through the AAT Process: Should you need to challenge an NDIA decision, Your AT will provide thorough guidance and support throughout the AAT process. From case preparation to representing your interests, we are committed to ensuring you are not alone.
• Education and Resources: Knowledge is a powerful tool. We will offer education and resources aimed at educating participants about their rights under the NDIS and the intricacies of the review processes. Empowerment through education is a cornerstone of our approach.

How Can You Get Involved?

• Reach Out for Support: If you or someone you know is preparing for an NDIS plan review or facing challenges with the NDIA, our team will be equipped to provide expert advice and compassionate support.
• Volunteer with Us: We will welcome volunteers to join our dedicated team, helping us deliver these critical services. Your time and skills can profoundly impact the lives of many.
• Spread the Word: Sharing information about Your AT can significantly extend our reach. Help us connect with more people who could benefit from our services by talking about our initiative within your community.

Join Us in Making a Difference

Your AT is more than just another site looking to make a quick buck in the NDIS world—it’s a commitment to uphold the rights and dignity of every NDIS participant. With your support, we can ensure that individuals receive the fair treatment and support they need to thrive.

Project Four : Financial Assistance with Out of Pocket Expenses

At Your AT, we’re poised to expand our impact, building on the successes of our initial projects. With continued growth from our sales, we’re planning an ambitious third initiative: a grant programme designed to lessen the financial strain of assessments necessary for NDIS access, thereby further supporting disabled individuals and their families.

A Vision for Accessible Support:

Acknowledging the financial hurdles many encounter with the costs associated with NDIS assessments, our upcoming project aims to provide financial relief through grants. This initiative is specifically intended to assist those gathering essential evidence for NDIS applications, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent access to crucial benefits.

Strategic Partnership with a Disability Charity:

To ensure effective management and fair distribution of grants, we plan to partner with a leading charity known for its work in disability advocacy and support. Their expertise will guarantee transparency and equity throughout the grant process.

Focus on Assessment Costs:

The grants will particularly target expenses related to securing the necessary medical, psychological, and therapeutic assessments required for NDIS applications. This approach will help eliminate financial obstacles that can delay or deny access to vital support services.

Streamlined Application Process:

Recognising the complexities that often accompany formal applications, we aim to make the grant application process as straightforward as possible. We will ensure it is accessible to all, with support options available to help applicants successfully submit their documentation.

Support Beyond Funding:

Our commitment goes beyond merely providing financial aid; we plan to offer ongoing assistance to recipients to effectively navigate the NDIS process. This will include advice on connecting with service providers and accessing additional supports once NDIS funding is secured.

This future grant programme is more than just a plan—it’s a commitment to extend our support where it’s most needed. As we build on the successes of our first two projects, we remain dedicated to using our profits to create meaningful change. This initiative will directly empower individuals and their families to access the resources and support they require through the NDIS.

Your continued support enables these future initiatives. We encourage you to stay engaged with our projects and see how your purchases contribute to our growth and substantial impact. Visit our project page for more details, and join us on this ongoing journey to make accessibility and support a reality for everyone.

Project Five : Tailored Supported Employment through Franchising Opportunities

Building on our ongoing commitment to empowering disabled Australians, Your AT is excited to outline our future initiative.

We’re planning to break new ground by entering the franchising sector, with a forward-thinking model tailored to the ambitions and skills of individuals seeking meaningful careers.

Vision for Empowerment Through Franchise Ownership:

Looking ahead, we aim to purchase franchises that align perfectly with the personal interests and professional aspirations of our participants, thereby creating jobs that are both financially rewarding and ideal for their capabilities.

This proactive approach not only supports career development but also ensures financial independence through sustainable full-paying roles.

Identifying Suitable Franchises:

Our future plan includes identifying and acquiring franchises in industries that are a good match for the participants’ interests and long-term career goals. This ensures that individuals are engaged and passionate about their work.

Developing a Supported Employment Model:

We intend to pair each participant with a support worker experienced in the relevant industry. This crucial support aims to facilitate a smooth and successful integration into the workplace and will be tailored to meet individual needs.

Establishing a Financial Model:

The vision is for participants to receive a full income derived from the business operations of the franchise, fostering economic independence and reducing reliance on external funding.

Optimising Use of NDIS Support:

Where necessary, support worker costs will be covered by the NDIS. However, our objective is for each franchise to eventually support these expenses independently, establishing a self-sufficient employment ecosystem.

This franchising initiative represents a significant step towards creating a scalable and self-sustaining model of employment tailored to the specific needs and dreams of disabled individuals. By planning a structure that supports economic self-sufficiency, we are paving the way for careers that are both fulfilling and integral to the community.

This vision for the future is ambitious, and its realisation depends on the continued success and support of our existing initiatives. We invite you to stay engaged with our progress and support our growth, which enables these innovative expansions. Visit our project page to learn more about our future plans and how your involvement can help turn these ambitions into reality.
