Empowering support for Men (16-55)Â
At Amend Movement, our mission is to help men and young men heal, grow, and build lasting capacity in their lives. We provide holistic, strength-based NDIS support tailored specifically for males aged 16–55. Using clear, reassuring, and empowering guidance, we walk alongside you to overcome challenges and foster independence. You are not alone on this journey – we’re here to help you reclaim confidence, develop new skills, and lead a fulfilling life with strength and heart.
“We don’t just teach coping strategies. We teach you how to reclaim emotional discipline, lead with clarity, and show up with strength and heart.” – Watene Waenga, Founder of Amend Movement.
"Choosing a support provider is a big decision. At Amend Movement, we pride ourselves on our holistic, male-focused approach and commitment to quality. Here’s why participants and families trust us"
Specialised in Men’s Mental Health: We are one of the few services specifically dedicated to men and young men. Our team understands the unique challenges men face – from societal pressures to communication styles. We create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself. Every support session is tailored to what works for you as a man, whether that means a casual chat during a drive or hands-on goal setting and reflection.
Experienced & Compassionate Team: Our support workers and mentors aren’t just trained professionals – many have lived experience overcoming their own struggles. They know what it’s like to feel stuck and how to move forward, and they bring that empathy to their work. You’ll have a consistent, reliable support person who listens and truly cares.
Quality & Compliance (Unregistered, but Trusted): As an unregistered NDIS provider, we operate with flexibility while still adhering to the highest standards of care. We follow the NDIS Code of Conduct and all required safety checks to ensure you receive quality, safe services – just like a registered provider would. In fact, the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission oversees both registered and unregistered providers, so we are accountable for delivering support that meets NDIS standards. You can have peace of mind knowing we uphold professionalism, confidentiality, and respect in everything we do.
Flexible & Personalised Support: Being unregistered also means we’re often more flexible and responsive than larger providers. You get to set the schedule and support plan that suits your life, rather than fitting into a rigid system. Many NDIS participants find that unregistered providers offer greater choice in support workers, more consistency (you’ll see the same friendly face at each session), and more adaptable support times. We work with you to adjust supports as your needs change – no excessive bureaucracy, just genuine support. And importantly, families and participants have found that using unregistered services does not compromise on quality or safety. We maintain professional standards and most of our staff hold relevant qualifications or accreditations, just like any other provider.
Your Goals at the Centre: We take a capacity-building approach in every service – meaning we don’t want you to be dependent on us long-term. We want to see you thrive on your own terms. From day one, we’ll ask about your goals, dreams, and what a good life looks like to you. Every activity or support we provide is aligned with helping you get closer to those goals, whether it’s mastering daily tasks, improving your mental health, or strengthening your relationships. Your success is our success, and even small wins are celebrated here.
Capacity Building: Mentoring & Skill Development
Â
Our capacity-building supports are designed to strengthen your mindset, sharpen your skills, and prepare you to lead your life with independence and purpose.
Through one-on-one mentoring, life skills development, emotional resilience training, and job readiness support, we help you build the habits, routines, and confidence needed to move forward.
This might include developing emotional discipline, mastering communication skills, or preparing for employment or further study – all tailored to your personal leadership journey.
NDIS Capacity Building Supports focus on building capability, confidence, and self-reliance so you can lead yourself through the challenges of life, not just survive them.
Benefits of Capacity Building:
Confidence & Resilience: Guided mentoring to boost your self-esteem and emotional strength. Learn coping strategies and leadership skills that help you face life’s challenges without shame or fear.
Life Skills Development: Hands-on support to master daily skills – from cooking and budgeting to time management – fostering greater autonomy in everyday life. These practical skills help you live more independently and take charge of your routine.
Personal Growth & Goals: Coaching that aligns with your personal goals, whether it’s pursuing education, preparing for employment, or improving relationships. We celebrate your progress and help you stay motivated as you create the life you truly want.
Daily Living Assistance: Personal Care & Home Assistance
 Â
We understand that managing everyday tasks can be overwhelming when you’re dealing with health or disability challenges. Our Daily Living support is here to make day-to-day life easier while preserving your dignity and independence at home. A dedicated support worker can assist with personal care (such as morning and evening routines, grooming, or medication reminders), provide domestic support (like meal preparation, light cleaning, or shopping), and help with transportation to appointments or activities. The goal is to ensure you have the right level of support to live safely and comfortably, while encouraging your own capabilities every day.
Benefits of Daily Living Support:
Confidence & Resilience:
Guided mentoring to build your emotional strength, resilience, and leadership skills. Learn how to stay grounded under pressure, manage challenges with courage, and move through setbacks without shame or fear.
Life Skills Development:
Practical support to master essential daily living skills — from cooking and budgeting to time management and decision-making — empowering you to take greater ownership of your day-to-day life and routines.
Personal Growth & Purpose:
Coaching that aligns with your goals, whether it's strengthening relationships, building independence, preparing for employment or study, or stepping into leadership in your own life. We celebrate every step forward as you create the future you want.
Social & Community Participation: Connection and Belonging
Â
Isolation can be a major hurdle in mental health and well-being. Our Social and Community Participation services are designed to help you connect with others, discover hobbies, and engage with your community in ways that feel meaningful to you. We offer both group activities and one-on-one social support. You might join a men’s peer group session, attend community events or workshops, or simply go out with a support worker to do something fun (like catching a movie, going fishing, or visiting a sports game). Being part of a community enhances well-being and fosters a sense of belonging , so we make it a priority to help you form positive connections. Our team will encourage and accompany you as you step out of your comfort zone socially – always at your own pace.
Benefits of Social & Community Participation:
Building Friendships: Opportunities to meet and bond with others through group meet-ups, recreational activities, or workshops. You’ll practice social skills in a relaxed, supportive environment and maybe even form lasting friendships along the way.
Community Engagement: Get involved in local community events, clubs, or volunteering. We help you identify activities that match your interests – whether it’s sports, art, nature, or simply grabbing lunch in town – and support you in participating with confidence.
Better Well-Being: Regular social interaction and community involvement can greatly improve your mood, self-worth, and sense of purpose. With our one-on-one support, outings are tailored to your comfort level, helping reduce anxiety and build trust in others. You’ll gradually feel more connected and less alone.
"We're proud to have supported many men on their journey to a better life"
Here are a few words from those who have worked with us.
 James, 24 (Gold Coast)
“Before working with Amend Movement, I felt completely lost. My mentor helped me break out of my shell and build routines that gave me confidence. Now I’m volunteering at a local workshop and even thinking about a part-time job. I’ve never felt more hopeful about the future.”
 Aaron, 37 (Brisbane)
“The support I get with daily living has been life-changing. My support worker is like a brother to me – he understands me. With his help, I’ve got my house in order and I’m cooking for myself. Even on bad days, I know I can count on Amend to be there and not give up on me.”
Michael, 30 (Tweed Heads)
“Joining the social group was the best thing I ever did. I was so isolated before – now I have mates I see every week. We go bowling, have BBQs, and just hang out. It’s helped my confidence big time. The guys at Amend really get what I’m going through and make it easy to be part of the group.”Â
We welcome NDIS participants who are Plan-Managed or Self-Managed. Amend Movement is unregistered, which means if your NDIS funding is managed by the NDIA (Agency-managed), you generally cannot use unregistered providers.
However, Plan-Managed and Self-Managed participants have full choice over unregistered services – and that’s where we come in
Plan-Managed Participants: If you have a Plan Manager handling your NDIS funds, you can easily use our services. We simply send our invoices to your Plan Manager for payment. We adhere to the NDIS price limits for supports, ensuring our rates are within the NDIS funding guidelines so your plan is properly used. There are no out-of-pocket costs (beyond your plan funding) for you to worry about.
Self-Managed Participants: If you self-manage your NDIS plan, you have the greatest flexibility. We will provide you with invoices for our services, and you can directly pay us from your NDIS funds (or reimburse yourself) and then claim through the NDIS portal. The NDIS price caps do not formally apply to self-managed supports, but we keep our services affordable and aligned with typical NDIS rates. You maintain full control – we’re happy to work out a schedule, service arrangement, and reporting style that suits your needs.
Not sure what type of plan management you have? No problem – contact us and we’ll help you figure it out. Our team can also offer guidance if you’re interested in switching from NDIA-managed to plan-managed in order to access a broader range of supports (including our services).
Transparency and trust are key to how we operate. We’ll make the paperwork side as simple as possible, so you can focus on your progress, not the admin.
Exciting news -we are expanding our services to offer Supported Living in the near future. This means we’ll be able to provide safe, supportive home environments where men can live more independently while still receiving 24/7 assistance and guidance.
Our upcoming supported living program will focus on creating a community household with structured support – think of it as a stepping stone between living at home and living on your own. Residents will practice life skills in a real-life setting, build camaraderie with housemates, and continue their personal growth in a stable, supervised environment.
Stay tuned for more details! We’re working hard behind the scenes to develop a Supported Living option that aligns with our holistic mental health approach.Â
