GROWTH THAT STARTS WITH PEOPLE

Our Story

Since being founded in 2021, Influential Growth has grown into a multidisciplinary NDIS provider supporting participants, families and their wider support networks across NSW.

What began in Positive Behaviour Support has evolved to bring together Positive Behaviour Support, Support Coordination, Plan Management and Nature-Based & Animal-Assisted Allied Health under one organisation.

While our services are diverse, our approach remains consistent — individualised, practical and person-centred support that builds capacity, promotes independence and creates meaningful outcomes in everyday life.

Influential Growth was created with a simple belief: quality support starts with understanding the whole person, not just the service they require.

Our mission is to influence meaningful growth by providing high-quality, person-centred supports that empower people to build capacity, increase independence and participate meaningfully in their everyday lives.

We believe the best outcomes are achieved through genuine relationships, collaboration and supports that recognise each person's individual strengths, goals and circumstances.

Our Mission

We value diversity and create welcoming, respectful services where every person is recognised, heard and included.

Inclusion

We build capacity, confidence and skills so people have greater choice, control and independence in their lives.

Empowerment

We provide individualised support shaped around each person's needs, goals, strengths and circumstances.

Support

We hold ourselves to high standards of quality, Professionalism and continuous improvement in everything we do.

Founder's Story

What began as a Behaviour Support practice continued to grow as demand increased and the organisation's reputation and team developed.

In 2024, Laura partnered with Jo Bailey, bringing together Laura's clinical leadership and Jo's more than 30 years of experience across ADHC and the NDIS. Jo's leadership provided a strong operational foundation for the organisation's next stage of growth, allowing Laura to focus on practitioner development, clinical quality and sustainable service delivery.

Today, Influential Growth has expanded beyond its Behaviour Support beginnings to provide Positive Behaviour Support, Support Coordination, Plan Management and Nature-Based & Animal-Assisted Allied Health.

Together, Laura and Jo continue to lead Influential Growth around the values on which it was built — quality, integrity, collaboration and the belief that lasting outcomes begin with people who feel genuinely supported.

Influential Growth was founded in 2021 by Behaviour Support Practitioner Laura, with a vision to create the kind of organisation she had always wanted to work within — one that genuinely invests in its practitioners while delivering exceptional support to participants and families.
