In October 2022, Melbourne-based former nurse Aaron Villanueva and his business partner leveraged expert consultancy to navigate the NDIS sector’s highly regulated audit framework and establish their practice.


Key Points
  • Market Growth: Driven by an annual 9.3% expansion over the five years ending 2025–26, the NDIS provider market is projected to reach a $45 billion valuation, according to IBISWorld.
  • Lean Innovation: Villanueva launched his startup, Speedcare, with $15,000 in capital, prioritizing an application that integrates real-time worker tracking with automated payroll.
  • Service Trends: High demand persists for Social and Community Participation, with clients frequently requesting assistance for grocery shopping, religious services, and recreational outings.
Ang pinaka purpose namin as a healthcare worker masaya kapag nakakatulong ka sa kapwa nating Filipino at maging ang ibang lahi. Maganda ang feeling kapag tumulong at nabibigay mo ang service na gusto nila. Masarap ang pakiramdam kapag naaabot nila ang mga goals nila gaya ng pag-sisimba.
Aaron Villanueva, NDIS Provider
