EPISODE 316 - THE RIGHT FIT AUSTRALIA: Jessica Dale
The Right Fit Australia, recently launched by Jessica Dale, is a unique bridging housing brokerage service for NDIS participants. It finds participants first and then matches them with suitable properties and providers, effectively reverse-engineering support coordination.
Background
Jessica is a Melbourne-based Support Coordinator with expertise in complex cases since 2019. She specialises in advocating for Participants to ensure they receive appropriate funding and services tailored to their needs, particularly focusing on individuals with complex medical conditions who require hospital discharge support and life-saving services.
Gaps in the Market
Many participants face rushed housing decisions, leading to mismatches. The Right Fit aims to address this by ensuring suitable, long-term matches between participants and providers.
Cost Structure
Jessica's services are free for NDIS participants and Support Coordinators, ensuring it does not impact Participants' NDIS budgets. Providers pay a fee only after successful placement, with no ongoing fees.
Process Overview
Participants are referred by Support coordinators, hospital discharge planners, or social workers. The Right Fit assesses their funding and needs, discusses preferences, then shares a de-identified profile with potential providers. After a meet and greet, the participant chooses to view the property or sign a service agreement - only then is the provider invoiced.
Point of Difference and Due Diligence
The Right Fit stands out by rigorously vetting Providers before accepting them onto their books. This ensures Participants are matched with registered, compliant providers without Quality and Safeguards Commission issues, with current audits, and robust procedures.
