About Kind Freedom Australia

Kind Freedom Australia is a disability support and rehabilitation organisation committed to helping people live independently, confidently, and with dignity. We work with individuals living with physical disabilities, neurological conditions, mobility challenges, rehabilitation needs, and other disability-related support requirements — through NDIS, TAC, private arrangements, rehabilitation pathways, and other funding options.

Who we support

Professional disability support funded the way that works for you

We're a disability support service provider first. Funding is simply how you access our support — whether that's NDIS, TAC, private, insurance, family or hospital and rehab pathways.

  • NDIS participants

    Self-managed or plan-managed plans, with all supports priced to the NDIS Pricing Arrangements.

  • TAC participants

    Transport Accident Commission clients accessing community access, attendant care and recovery support.

  • Private participants

    Pay-as-you-go support — no plan required. Hourly rates and transparent service agreements.

  • Self-funded clients

    Clients funding their own support directly, with full flexibility over hours and worker matching.

  • Families

    Families coordinating support for a loved one — we keep you in the loop and respect every household routine.

  • Hospital discharge support

    Bridging the gap between hospital and home — handover and in-home support within 24–48 hours where needed.

  • Rehabilitation programs

    Continuity of allied health goals after rehab discharge — therapy practice, mobility retraining and daily living support.

  • Insurance-funded participants

    Work-cover, life-insurance and other insurer-funded packages — invoiced directly to your case manager.

  • Aged participants living with disability

    Older adults living with disability who need professional, person-centred support to keep living independently at home.

Not sure which pathway fits your situation? Talk to our team — we'll help you work out the right way to access our support.

Founder & Director · Cert IV Allied Health Assistance

Edson Rushenya — Founder & Director

Edson started Kind Freedom because he kept noticing a specific gap in the sector, participants with physical and neurological conditions who were receiving perfectly adequate support for daily tasks, but no one was qualified to help them practise what their physiotherapist or OT had prescribed.

What that looks like in practice: guided exercise routines, mobility practice, assistive equipment support, rehabilitation reinforcement, and progress note-keeping that goes back to your treating clinician.

What Allied Health Assistance is, and is not

Edson implements programs that are prescribed and supervised by registered allied health professionals (physiotherapists, OTs, speech pathologists). He does not assess, diagnose, or design therapy. His role is to close the practice gap, so the work your clinicians prescribe actually happens in your home, with correct technique, every week.

What Guides Our Work

Our Values

Four words that define how we show up, but in the choices we make every single session.

Kindness

Support that feels human, not clinical. On hard days, in difficult moments, when things don't go to plan. Patience is not an extra we offer on good days. It is the baseline.

Freedom

You set the priorities. A support worker's job is to expand what you can do, not substitute for what you are still capable of doing yourself. We build independence, not dependency.

Respect

We ask before we touch, explain before we act, and listen before we respond. Your home, your body, your decisions. Every choice is yours, we are here to support it.

Quality

Credentialled, screened, and clinically aware. We hold ourselves to the standard your body and your support goals actually require, not the minimum that satisfies a shift roster.

Our Compliance

Provider Status & Participant Rights

Kind Freedom Australia operates as an unregistered NDIS provider. This means we work with participants whose plans are either self-managed or plan-managed. Unregistered status does not mean unqualified, it means we choose flexibility in how we deliver care without the additional administrative overhead required for registration.

Every worker on our team meets the requirements of the NDIS Code of Conduct, holds current NDIS Worker Screening clearance, a Working with Children Check, and First Aid & CPR certification. We follow the NDIS Pricing Arrangements 2025–26 and provide a written service agreement before any support begins.

If you ever have a concern about the support you receive, you can raise it with us directly or contact the NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission on 1800 035 544. Your right to switch providers, raise complaints, or request changes to your support is protected at every stage.

Edson took the time to actually understand my goals before quoting. The plan he put together felt personal — not a template. Six months in and I am genuinely more independent.
