Wild Skills Australia provides structured, nature-based capacity-building experiences for adolescents and adults who benefit from practical, real-world learning in outdoor environments.
Sessions are intentionally small and personalised, focusing on confidence, communication, decision-making, executive functioning, social connection, community participation and independence. Activities may include bush cooking, fishing, wildlife observation, environmental exploration, outdoor problem-solving and citizen science projects.
Wild Skills is particularly suited to participants who engage best through hands-on experiences rather than traditional classroom-style settings. Sessions can be delivered one-on-one or in small groups and are tailored to individual interests, goals and support needs.
A developing focus of the program is participation in simple citizen science projects, giving participants opportunities to contribute to genuine environmental observations and community knowledge while building practical skills and confidence.
Service Areas:
⚪ Cairns, Northern Beaches
⚪ Tablelands
⚪ Port Douglas
⚪ Mossman
⚪ and surrounding Far North Queensland areas.

🌸 Services
I provide in-person decluttering and home organisation support to help participants create calmer, easier-to-manage spaces. This includes decluttering, setting up simple systems, support with decision-making, and assistance during moves or life transitions. All support is non-judgemental, tailored, and focused on building confidence and independence in the home.
🌸 How is what I do different from a cleaner?
Cleaners do a surface-level tidy-up, and then clean. Distinct from this, I work alongside participants to reduce overwhelm, make decisions, and create systems that support daily life. My role is to build capability and clarity so the home feels more manageable long term.
🌸 Who can benefit from my service?
NDIS participants who feel overwhelmed at home, struggle with organisation or executive functioning, are neurodivergent, or need physical assistance to manage their home environment. This includes anyone who finds the physical, mental, or emotional load of decluttering difficult. Anyone wanting a clearer, calmer space can benefit.
🌸 What does a session look like?
Sessions are calm and achievable. We choose a simple goal, break tasks into small steps, work side-by-side at a comfortable pace (participant is free to take breaks as needed and I can continue), categorise and organise, and end with clear next steps and recommendations. If a participant isn’t physically able to carry out the tasks, I can complete the hands-on work while they make decisions in whatever way works best for them. The focus is reducing overwhelm and creating steady progress.
🌸 How my support aligns with NDIS goals
My support helps participants increase independence, build organisational and decision-making skills, maintain a safe home environment, develop routines, manage transitions, and reduce stress. All support assists in daily living, and is aimed to be capacity-building and tailored to the individual.
🌸 Compliance & Billing
I hold a current Disability Worker Screening (Yellow Card) and Working with Children Card (Blue Card), and the business is fully insured.
I invoice using the same line number as a support worker as I work alongside the participant to assist in their daily lives, but capacity building budget can also sometimes be used where appropriate, depending on the plan goals and needs of the participant.
