Juste is an independent NDIS provider directory and operations platform. Participants and families can search and find support workers and providers for free. Providers get a listed profile plus a full business system: compliance tracking, service agreements, NDIS-compliant invoicing, expense and mileage tracking, and a tax-time export for their accountant.

Is Juste free for participants?

Yes. Participants and families can browse the Juste directory, view provider profiles and contact providers at no cost. No account is needed to search.

How much does Juste cost for providers?

Juste charges a flat membership fee based on team size, starting from A$29 per month for the Solo tier for independent support workers. There is no commission on any job or booking, ever. Providers keep 100 percent of what they earn.

Is Juste affiliated with the NDIA?

No. Juste is an independent platform operated by Leah Justyce Art Gallery (ABN 73 658 665 321). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the National Disability Insurance Agency or the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

Can independent support workers use Juste?

Yes. Juste is specifically built for independent support workers operating as sole traders. The Solo membership tier is designed for a single operator and includes a directory listing, compliance register, service agreement builder, NDIS-compliant invoicing, expense tracking, mileage log and a tax-time export.

How does NDIS invoicing work on Juste?

Juste builds NDIS tax invoices from the current 2026-27 support-item catalogue. Providers select the support item, enter hours and dates, and Juste calculates the total with price-cap warnings. Invoices can be emailed to plan managers or participants and exported for PRODA. Most NDIS supports are GST-free, and Juste handles this correctly per invoice.

What is a service agreement and does Juste provide one?

A service agreement is a document between a provider and a participant that sets out the supports to be delivered, pricing, cancellation terms and the rights and responsibilities of both parties. Juste includes a service agreement builder that generates a compliant template covering all required sections, which can be printed or saved as a PDF.

How does Juste help with NDIS compliance?

Juste includes a compliance register where providers and agencies can store credentials including NDIS Worker Screening clearances, WWVP checks, First Aid, CPR, insurance certificates and qualifications. The register tracks expiry dates and shows alerts when credentials are expiring within 60 days.

Turning pet portraits into an NDIS microenterprise: start to finish

A custom pet portrait sells on something most products don't have built in: real emotion. People commission them as gifts, as memorials, and simply because they love their pet. That makes it a strong micro-business starting point - what it needs is a way to take commissions properly, and a gallery that does the work justice.

Can NDIS funding help build a pet portrait microenterprise?

Yes. Where a participant's NDIS plan includes a goal related to employment or economic participation, this kind of NDIS microenterprise support is typically funded under support item 04_801_0133_5_1 Supports in Employment (Core Supports budget) or 10_016_0102_5_3 Employment Assistance (Capacity Building), delivered online and available Australia-wide to plan-managed and self-managed participants.

The skill is yours

What medium, what style, what it costs and what the gallery looks like are the participant's decisions. The program isn't teaching the art - it's building the business around art that's already good.

What gets built around it

A commission request form that collects exactly what's needed - photo reference, size, style, timeframe - instead of working it out over several back-and-forth messages. A deposit and invoicing system, since commissioned art is usually paid in stages rather than all at once. An online gallery that actually shows the work well, with past commissions displayed alongside the pet they were made for. And a clear process for prints versus originals, and how framed or unframed pieces are shipped.

What it can look like

A gallery of finished commissions, a simple form to start a new one, and a deposit taken automatically before work begins - with the customer and the pet owner kept in the loop at each stage, rather than guessing when it will be ready.

Who delivers this support

Leah Justyce works 1:1 online with NDIS participants to build a real micro-business around whatever they already do well - delivered Australia-wide, to plan-managed and self-managed participants.
