Why we Started

 For over 30 years, Ward has been immersed in the NDIS and Aged Care sectors. Throughout his extensive experience, he has encountered various businesses, both as an employee and observer. Unfortunately, among them, he has encountered instances where individuals were treated merely as revenue sources rather than as individuals with needs and dignity. While Ward acknowledges the importance of businesses being sustainable and profitable, he firmly believes that this should not come at the expense of the individual's health and well-being. Witnessing firsthand the detrimental effects of unethical business practices, including within his own family, has fueled Ward's commitment to championing businesses that prioritise ethical conduct. For Ward, it is imperative that businesses operate within the bounds of regulations and guidelines, recognising and valuing individuals as people rather than solely as sources of profit.

The Tick of Approval is to give a clear visual aid to participants and stakeholders that the company is doing the right thing. Like they should be!

This shows that any business involving any type of supports whether they are fresh in the market or have been around for 50 years are operating in an ethical framework.

If a company is displaying the Tick then participants and stakeholders should be confident that the business will be looking after the individual before their back pocket.
