Juste is an independent NDIS provider directory and operations platform. Participants and families can search and find support workers and providers for free. Providers get a listed profile plus a full business system: compliance tracking, service agreements, NDIS-compliant invoicing, expense and mileage tracking, and a tax-time export for their accountant.

Is Juste free for participants?

Yes. Participants and families can browse the Juste directory, view provider profiles and contact providers at no cost. No account is needed to search.

How much does Juste cost for providers?

Juste charges a flat membership fee based on team size, starting from A$29 per month for the Solo tier for independent support workers. There is no commission on any job or booking, ever. Providers keep 100 percent of what they earn.

Is Juste affiliated with the NDIA?

No. Juste is an independent platform operated by Leah Justyce Art Gallery (ABN 73 658 665 321). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the National Disability Insurance Agency or the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

Can independent support workers use Juste?

Yes. Juste is specifically built for independent support workers operating as sole traders. The Solo membership tier is designed for a single operator and includes a directory listing, compliance register, service agreement builder, NDIS-compliant invoicing, expense tracking, mileage log and a tax-time export.

How does NDIS invoicing work on Juste?

Juste builds NDIS tax invoices from the current 2026-27 support-item catalogue. Providers select the support item, enter hours and dates, and Juste calculates the total with price-cap warnings. Invoices can be emailed to plan managers or participants and exported for PRODA. Most NDIS supports are GST-free, and Juste handles this correctly per invoice.

What is a service agreement and does Juste provide one?

A service agreement is a document between a provider and a participant that sets out the supports to be delivered, pricing, cancellation terms and the rights and responsibilities of both parties. Juste includes a service agreement builder that generates a compliant template covering all required sections, which can be printed or saved as a PDF.

How does Juste help with NDIS compliance?

Juste includes a compliance register where providers and agencies can store credentials including NDIS Worker Screening clearances, WWVP checks, First Aid, CPR, insurance certificates and qualifications. The register tracks expiry dates and shows alerts when credentials are expiring within 60 days.

Turning crochet into an NDIS microenterprise: start to finish

Crochet already has what most products need to sell online: every piece is one of a kind, it photographs well, and people buy it as a gift as often as for themselves. Baby booties, cardigans, blankets and beanies are a genuinely strong starting point for a micro-business - the part that usually stalls it isn't the making, it's everything around the making.

Can NDIS funding help build a crochet microenterprise?

Yes. Where a participant's NDIS plan includes a goal related to employment or economic participation, this kind of NDIS microenterprise support is typically funded under support item 04_801_0133_5_1 Supports in Employment (Core Supports budget) or 10_016_0102_5_3 Employment Assistance (Capacity Building), delivered online and available Australia-wide to plan-managed and self-managed participants.

The skill is yours

What to make, what it's called, what it costs, and what the shop looks like are the participant's decisions throughout. The program doesn't teach crochet or decide the product range - that's already there. What it builds is the business around it.

What gets built around it

A live online shop with proper product photos, not phone snapshots - listing, pricing, and checkout in one place. A system for custom and commissioned orders, so a request for a specific colour or size doesn't get lost in direct messages. Social accounts that are actually set up and posting, not just created and left empty. And the admin side - order tracking, simple invoicing for larger commissions, shipping - running in the background instead of eating into making time.

What it can look like

A small catalogue of ready-made pieces for sale now, alongside a custom order form for anything made to request - size, colour, a name worked into the pattern. New stock gets posted to social media automatically pointing back to the shop, so making one more thing is also making one more sale.

Who delivers this support

Leah Justyce works 1:1 online with NDIS participants to build a real microenterprise around whatever they already make - delivered Australia-wide, to plan-managed and self-managed participants.
