Who do you support?

Poppy provides NDIS and privately funded support for girls and women across Melbourne who want to build confidence, independence, and social connection. Whether you're self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed, we're here to help, and we work alongside support coordinators, plan managers, allied health teams, and families to make the process simple. If you're not sure whether we're the right fit, reach out and we'll talk it through.

Can you help me understand my plan?

Absolutely, we offer personalised guidance to help you navigate your plan and make the most of your funding. We'll work with you to make sure you understand each aspect and can use it effectively.

What services do you offer?

1:1 support, group programs, skill building, and structured programs.

Can I choose my support sister?

Yes, and we think it's one of the things that makes Poppy special. Rather than sending whoever's available, we involve you in the process and match you with a support sister based on personality, interests, and goals, so the connection feels natural. All of our support workers are female, giving girls and women a consistent, comfortable, and genuinely supportive experience.

Are your staff qualified and screened?

Yes. Every member of the Poppy team is fully screened and complies with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards standards, including the necessary checks and clearances. Beyond qualifications, we choose people who are warm, empathetic, and truly passionate about supporting girls and women, because trust and safety are at the heart of everything we do.

How are your services billed?

Our services are billed in line with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, so there are no surprises and everything stays transparent. If you're privately funded, we'll walk you through pricing clearly before we begin, so you always know exactly what to expect.

What makes Poppy different?

Poppy is a female-led service built specifically for girls and women, focused on real, measurable outcomes rather than just filling hours. We care about confidence, independence, social skills, and connection, and we deliver support with passion, empathy, and professionalism. With consistent all-female support workers and a genuine sense of belonging, we're here for the whole journey, not just the appointment.
