“Beloved community is formed not by eradication of difference but by its affirmation by each of us claiming the identities and cultural legacies that shape who we are and how we live in the world.”

FUSE

FUSE helps parents make sense of information coming from different parts of their child’s support team.
By keeping documents, updates, and requests in one place, parents can see how supports relate to goals over time and identify when questions or changes may be needed — without relying on constant emails or meetings.

FUSE: a secure, family-owned digital workspace

FUSE IS HERE

We’re delighted to introduce FUSE, a secure, family-owned digital workspace currently entering a limited testing phase with select families.
FUSE is designed to support parent oversight, consent, and shared understanding by providing one place where information relating to a child’s NDIS-funded supports can be organised and viewed together.
Rather than replacing existing therapy, school systems, or professional tools, FUSE brings relevant information into a single, structured space that parents control.


Shared understanding across your child’s support team


FUSE helps parents see how different supports fit together, without having to chase updates or compare information across emails and reports.
Information from therapy providers, school, and other supports is brought into one parent-controlled space, so you can see:
✔️ how activities relate to your child’s NDIS goals
✔️ what appears to be working well over time
✔️ where changes or questions may be needed
Rather than wondering whether supports overlap or drift apart, FUSE makes information visible in context. This supports informed parent decision-making and clearer conversations with providers when adjustments are needed.

We build your child a personalised therapy game—like having a game designer on your team. The game targets their exact goals and interests, making therapy feel like playtime while building real-world skills.

FUSE

Parent Oversight & Consent 

Parent Oversight & Consent (FUSE)
FUSE is a parent-controlled digital oversight system designed to help families organise, review, and approve information relating to their child’s NDIS-funded supports.
It does not replace therapy, clinical judgement, or support coordination.
Instead, it supports parents to exercise informed choice and control by bringing information into one secure, structured space where approvals, consent, and key updates are clearly visible.with informed consent at it’s heart.

What is FUSE?

Parent‑controlled oversight and consent system 

FUSE is a parent‑controlled digital oversight and consent system designed to help families organise, review, and approve information relating to their child’s NDIS‑funded supports.

FUSE brings information into one secure, structured space so parents can clearly see:

  • what supports are in place
  • how information links to NDIS goals
  • what is being shared, with whom, and why
Why FUSE Exists

Families of children with disability often receive input from:

  • extended family or carers
  • support workers
  • schools and education staff
  • multiple therapy providers

Information is frequently spread across emails, reports, apps, and verbal updates. This makes it difficult for parents to:

  • track progress over time
  • understand how supports align to NDIS goals
  • approve information sharing consistently
  • prepare confidently for planning or review meetings

FUSE addresses this by providing a single, parent‑owned workspace where relevant information can be viewed, organised, and approved in context.

What FUSE Supports

FUSE supports parents to:

  • exercise informed choice and control
  • maintain oversight of multiple supports
  • approve resources, documents, and information sharing
  • receive alerts only when something requires attention
  • reduce reliance on fragmented email communication

This improves transparency and helps ensure funded supports are used effectively over time.

What FUSE Is Not

FUSE is not:

  • a therapy service
  • a diagnostic or clinical decision‑making tool
  • a support coordination service
  • a replacement for existing clinicians or providers
How Parent Control Works

Parents always retain control of the FUSE workspace.

  • Parents decide:
  • who has access
  • what information is shared
  • when approvals are required
  • when access is changed or removed.
Approvals and Consent

Nothing is shared or actioned without parent visibility.

  • Parents can review and approve:
  • resources (e.g. word lists, programs)
  • documents uploaded by providers
  • information shared outside the family workspace
  • key requests that affect the child’s supports
Notifications (No Daily Checking)

FUSE is designed so parents and their support providers do not need to check the system every day.

Parents/team members receive notifications only when:

  • something requires approval
  • an important document is added
  • a significant update needs attention
  • Everything else remains visible without creating unnecessary alerts.

Approvals and Consent

FUSE provides clear approval and consent tracking. Nothing is shared or actioned without parent visibility.


Systemises Insights

Low-cost digital assistive support that enables parents to organise, monitor, and approve information relating to their child’s NDIS-funded supports.

Shared understanding across your team

Cultural Care & Advocacy

The Barriers

Mistrust from historical injustices and systemic racism blocks NDIS access. Models prioritising profit over care.

The Present

Non-Indigenous NGOs dominate ~60–70% of NDIS funds, displacing local providers with promises and cost savings.

The Solution

Community partnerships. Reality, not blame. Learning, not imposing. Sharing, not stealing. Truth-telling, not secret keeping.

Remote Communities

FUSE adapts to remote Indigenous communities by centering schools as hubs for culturally safe therapy, amplifying voices parents prioritise—Elders, kin, ACCOs.

Our feedback loop ensures therapists prioritise lived realities and preferences into recommendations, with parents calling the shots. This orientation to ‘capacity building’ and ‘parental choice and control’ is the spirit and the intention of the NDIS. FUSE is built to honour that intention.

We monitor implementation, tackling access barriers, like shortages through solutions (like fly-in assessments, technology), and capacity-building, (like providing training, resource development). FUSE collaborates to share resources, building community strength without stealing agency.

Our aim is to maximise existing NDIS budgets to ensure therapy provision, and evaluate effectiveness to ensure funding adequacy. Sidestepping middle men we maximise what you already have and secure what you require so that your children gets the therapy they need.

Aboriginal communities hold immense wisdom—cultural protocols, family strengths—yet Western systems dismiss it, ~16,000 eligible kids with no therapy, and ~$79 million of NDIS budgets unspent yearly (40% underspend, NDIA, 2023). Carers, mostly women, provide ~$1.5–$1.6 billion in unpaid labor (~20 hours/week, Carey et al., 2021), including ~$750 million for kids. NGOs displace Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, reducing culturally safe care (NDIS Review, 2023). Overall, ~42,000 Indigenous participants are underserved, ~20,000 waitlisted, and ~15,000 face inadequate therapy due to 20% allied health “shortages” and mistrust (33%, NDIA, 2023). FUSE’s aim is simple: use the community’s knowledge and power, and resource the hell out of it.

The Cost of Nothing – 
Impact on Indigenous Communities

NGOs’ market share growth wastes funds and denies services, with ~$79 million unused annually, ~42,000 Indigenous participants underserved, and social costs from unpaid caregiving amplified.

The data here reflects the impact on Aboriginal Communities.

How these costs are calculated

Figures in the Cost of Nothing section are derived from reputable sources and estimates based on available data.

Underserved Participants (~42,000 Indigenous participants) reflects p total of eligible people without funding, waitlists, unspent budgets or culturally inappropriate services (NDIA, 2023; ABS 2018-19; Deloitte, 2023).

Kids With No Therapy (~16,000 Indigenous kids) reflects kids with eligible disabilities at ~38% NDIS uptake (NDIA, 2025; NDIS Review, 2023).

Unspent Funds (~$79 million) estimates ~40% unused Indigenous NDIS budgets (NDIA, 2025; NDIS Review, 2023).

Unpaid Caregiving (~$1.3 billion) calculates 70% maternal caregivers’ labor at support worker rates $33.25/hr (ABS, 2023, Salins et al., 2023; NDIA, 2025).

Waiting for Services (~20,000 people on waitlists) reflects 8,000 kids waiting for assessment, 15,000 with inadequate therapy, and 10,000 waiting for culturally safe providers, (NDIA, 2024; Deloitte, 2023; Royal Commission, 2023).

Exact figures may vary due to data limitations.
