Accessible Self-Employment - Supports people living with disabilities in exploring self-employment pathways through their hobbies, skills, lived experience, and personal interests. The focus is on identifying existing strengths and translating them into realistic micro- to small-business ideas that feel achievable and meaningful.
Participants are supported through structured guidance and mentorship designed to build confidence, practical skills, and long-term capacity. This work is grounded in a belief that self-employment can offer not only income pathways but also purpose, autonomy, and increased participation in the broader community.
All support is provided at a pace that respects each individual’s readiness, goals, and circumstances, ensuring the process remains sustainable, empowering, and aligned with their NDIS capacity building objectives.
COMMUNITY PROJECTS & DEVELOPMENT
Community-based initiatives and Projects
In addition to direct disability support, Bodhi Heart is involved in designing and developing community-based projects that address gaps in disability support. This includes developing an online capacity-building assistive-technology toolkit
Your World, Your Way is an online Assistive Technology capacity-building toolkit currently being designed and developed to support people living with disabilities and NDIS participants in meaningfully building capacity across daily living and community participation.
The toolkit is intended to provide practical, accessible tools that strengthen independence, increase confidence, and support participants to engage more effectively with their environments and support networks. It is being developed with a focus on usability, relevance, and real-world application, ensuring that participants can apply what they learn in ways that are sustainable and aligned with their individual goals. Your World, Your Way reflects Bodhi Heart’s commitment to innovative, ethical, and participant-focused capacity building initiatives.
Our projects are being delivered by Being Matters Incorporated, a registered charity with the ACNC and Fair Trading
