We live by our values
At Ethical Tick, we don’t believe in creating a platform where providers are listed once and left there indefinitely. Being part of our community means continually upholding the values and ethics we stand for. If a business is no longer aligning with these standards, we take action and remove their approval. This ensures that participants, coordinators, and providers can have confidence that every business carrying the Ethical Tick is genuinely committed to integrity, transparency, and quality care.
Being NDIS registered does not automatically mean a provider operates ethically. Providers like Cocoon and Flourish may meet registration requirements, but that does not guarantee their practices align with the values of transparency, respect, and integrity that Ethical Tick represents. Our commitment is to participants and their right to connect with providers who truly prioritise ethical practice.

Ward Sheehan, who runs Ethical Tick, responded to his video saying, “Even in this apology, you’ve said you “stand by your beliefs.” That makes these words feel more like damage control than true accountability. An apology that continues to defend the same harmful views is not an apology — it’s a token gesture.”
