NDIS goals turned into real, trackable skill-building programs.

Most support delivery is reactive — showing up and doing something. CONVI takes a deliberate approach: every participant's NDIS goals are translated into structured 3-month skill-building programs with small, achievable steps, tracked activities, and clear evaluation points. When the period ends, we assess where the participant is, refine the program, and begin the next block. Support that compounds — not just continues.

About CONVI

Built on experience.
Designed around systems.

CONVI is a disability and NDIS support provider operating across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, and the Surf Coast. We specialise in complex mental health, psychosocial disability, paediatric ASD support, and AOD recovery.

Alex Attard — Founder & Director, CONVI

Founder & Director

Alex Attard

"I built CONVI because I believe disability support should be structured, reliable, and genuinely effective."

My path to CONVI isn't a straight line. I spent sixteen years running a trades business — building teams, managing operations, learning that systems are what make quality consistent, not just good intentions. That foundation never left me.

When I moved into clinical mental health and AOD work as a hypnotherapist, I started seeing a different kind of problem. People with genuine, serious needs — and support systems that let them down not through cruelty, but through inconsistency, poor documentation, and providers who couldn't account for what they'd actually delivered.

CONVI exists because the gap between what disability support should be and what it often is felt fixable. Not by a large organisation, but by someone who builds things properly from the start and refuses to cut corners on the parts that actually protect people.

My background spans licensed trades, business ownership, clinical mental health, and AOD recovery work. That combination — practical problem-solving, operational discipline, and genuine clinical understanding — is what drives how CONVI operates.

Systems-first from day one

CONVI operates on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central — enterprise-grade ERP software used by organisations orders of magnitude larger. For CONVI, it means every participant is a customer account, every NDIS plan is a project, every session is a posted journal line, and every invoice is generated directly from that record.

There is no spreadsheet version of this. No notes reconstructed at billing time. No approximations. When a support coordinator or plan manager asks for session evidence, it exists, it's accurate, and it's available immediately.

That level of operational rigour is unusual for a provider at CONVI's current scale. It's also the reason CONVI can grow without quality degrading — the system enforces standards rather than relying on individuals remembering to do the right thing.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Primary ERP. Service delivery, evidence, billing, payroll, and reporting all in one system. Session records are immutable audit trail entries.

D365 Customer Service

Incident management and complaint case tracking. Every incident and complaint is logged, tracked, and closed with documented outcomes.

Power BI reporting

Connected to Business Central. Real-time visibility across participant budgets, session delivery, and billing accuracy.

Unregistered provider — registration underway

CONVI is currently an unregistered NDIS provider. This means CONVI accepts self-managed and plan-managed participants. Agency-managed participants require registered provider status, which CONVI is actively pursuing.

Registration target: Q1 2027. CONVI operates to NDIS Practice Standards regardless of registration status — the same policies, the same documentation standards, the same incident management obligations.

If you're a support coordinator assessing whether CONVI is suitable for an unregistered referral, the full operational picture is available on the coordinator page.

Want to talk before making a referral?

Happy to discuss a participant's needs informally before any formal referral process.

Services

Four specialist areas.
One consistent standard.

CONVI delivers NDIS support across complex mental health, psychosocial disability, paediatric ASD, AOD recovery, and community participation. All services are delivered to the same documentation and quality standard regardless of support type.

Complex Mental Health & Psychosocial Disability

Support for participants with psychosocial disability, trauma histories, and complex behavioural needs — delivered through structured, deliberate capacity building programs designed around each participant's NDIS goals.

CONVI translates NDIS goals into 3-month skill-building blocks — small, achievable steps matched to each participant's actual capacity. Programs are evaluated at the end of each period and refined for the next. This is support that builds toward something, not just maintains the status quo.

Paediatric ASD Support (8+)

Goal-directed support and structured capacity building for children aged 8 and over with mid to severe Autism Spectrum Disorder. Every engagement is built around the child's current NDIS plan goals and delivered through deliberate, trackable skill-building programs.

CONVI's paediatric ASD programs are co-designed with Lisa Attard — an early childhood specialist and educator with over 20 years of experience. Lisa brings professional expertise in child development, learning design, and skill sequencing. Alex makes the programs practical, deliverable, and genuinely fun for the child. Together, they create structured capacity building programs that are grounded in child development principles and built for real-world delivery.

Early childhood expertise — Lisa Attard

AOD Recovery Support

Structured capacity building and daily living support for participants navigating alcohol and other drug recovery alongside their NDIS goals. Alex Attard brings over seven years of clinical experience in AOD recovery — a depth of understanding that most support providers simply don't have.

Recovery support is delivered through deliberate 3-month skill-building programs designed to build a stable, functional daily life alongside recovery. Small, achievable steps. Consistent delivery. Tracked progress. Support that doesn't just accompany recovery — it actively builds the skills a participant needs to sustain it.

Community Participation & Capacity Building

Deliberate, structured capacity building designed around real-world community participation — not just accompanying a participant, but building the skills they need to participate more independently over time.

CONVI designs 3-month skill programs that turn community participation goals from a participant's NDIS plan into concrete, trackable activities. Each period builds on the last. Progress is documented and demonstrated — not assumed.

"CONVI is an unregistered provider. This means plan-managed and self-managed participants only — until registration is achieved in Q1 2027. We operate to the same Practice Standards as registered providers in all other respects."
— Alex Attard, Director

CONVI's unregistered status is not a gap in quality — it is an administrative milestone in progress. Every policy, every system, and every compliance obligation is built to registered-provider standard. The certification audit is a formality confirming what is already in place.
