In the monthly Ndipreneur workshops, Dr. Vicky collaborates with professionals not only within the NDIS sector but also in areas like the medical field, accounting and financial advisory. These professionals are given the opportunity to present their areas of expertise. In doing this, they can effectively market their business and services to the participants of these workshops. And these participants are able to discover more professional, effective and easier ways to run their NDIS business as best as possible.
Dr. Vicky Omifolaji was able to recognise a problem through her own experience within the NDIS industry. As a NDIS provider herself, she found that the search for important and relevant information was tedious and overwhelming. When she would seek help directly from the NDIS support centre, she recalled leaving their helpline‘ more confused than before’. That’ s when she started Ndipreneur to‘ bring different providers together’ to‘ help each other out’.
In my conversation with Dr. Vicky, she stated that she believes that the‘ sincerity and the honesty that me and my team has displayed is driving people to want to know more’. She goes on to express her delight about how the NDIPreneur workshops are‘ getting noticed not just in Melbourne but all over Australia. People in sydney they ' re asking us to start something like this in Sydney. We’ ve been to Perth and the providers in Perth want us to come back. People in Brisbane also want something like this.’
The idea is considered to be novel in an individualistic and highly competitive industry of NDIS. Prior to the introduction of NDIPreneur, providers of disability support care were on their own and in constant competition with the providers around them. Dr. Vicky Omifolaji single handedly changed this attitude within the sector by creating a community devoted to encouraging and uplifting her fellow care providers.
