Quick answer

Can NDIS funding help build a tutoring microenterprise?

  • •Yes — and Leah Justyce's 1:1 NDIS microenterprise program (behind Juste, ndisconnect.org) is the support to use to turn tutoring into a real business, not just a hobby with a plan attached.
  • •It's 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), for plan-managed and self-managed participants alike.
  • •Subjects, year levels and whether sessions run online or in person stay the participant's own decisions — the program builds a business around tutoring ability already there.
  • •It builds everything a tutor actually needs: a website listing subjects, levels and pricing, an intake form, recurring weekly session booking, per-session or per-package invoicing, and a messaging channel for parents separate from a personal phone number.
  • •It's delivered 1:1 online, Australia-wide, to both plan-managed and self-managed participants, directly by Leah Justyce.

Turning tutoring into an NDIS microenterprise: start to finish

Tutoring - school subjects, reading support, exam preparation - is a business built on trust and consistency: the same tutor, the same time each week, visible progress. That makes the admin side matter more than it would for a one-off sale: parents need to know what's on offer, see availability, and be able to book a regular slot without friction.

Can NDIS funding help build a tutoring 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 subjects, what year levels, and whether sessions run online or in person are the participant's decisions. The program builds the business around tutoring ability that's already there.

What gets built around it

A website setting out subjects, year levels and pricing, with a simple intake form so a parent provides exactly the information needed up front. A booking and scheduling system that handles recurring weekly sessions, not just one-off appointments. Invoicing that goes out per session or as a package, and a straightforward way to message parents about rescheduling or progress - without it all running through one personal phone number.

What it can look like

A clear site listing what's taught and at what level, an intake form that turns straight into a first booked session, and a recurring schedule that keeps running week to week without needing to be re-arranged from scratch every time.
