Harriet.

(she/they)

Peer Support Coach
(Support Worker, Mentor & Therapy Assistant)

I’m Harriet and my pronouns are she/they. I’m a queer, neurodiverse woman with a background in Physiotherapy.

I’ve got experience working with children, having worked in a paediatric physio role for the last year, but am keen to work with anyone and everyone through my role as a support worker with Neuroqueer.

In my downtime, I love being outdoors and going on adventures as well as enjoying live music as much as possible.

What’s a Peer Support Coach?

Neuroqueer Peer Support Coaches are trained to support you with your daily life, accessing the community, social and recreational activities, mentoring and therapy assistance.

They’re good people with lived experience ready to give you feel-good support.

Our Peer Support Workers are here to help with day-to-day activities, like personal tasks, household chores, and staying connected to your community.
With their lived experience and affirming approach, they’ll work alongside you to meet your goals.
Funding for Support Work comes out of your Core funding (Assistance with Daily Life or Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation).
Our NDIS Mentoring supports you through key life stages, whether you’re building independence, learning new skills, or navigating big transitions like moving out, starting study, or changing routines.
We offer hands-on, peer-led support tailored to your goals, helping you grow confidence, decision-making skills, and self-advocacy along the way. This is real-world mentoring grounded in lived experience.
Funding for Mentoringcomes out of your Capacity Building funding. You might see things on your plan like:
- Improved Daily Living Skills
- Finding and Keeping a Job
- Improved Living Arrangements
- Increased Social & Community Participation
- Lifelong Learning
We provide practical and emotional support to help you apply what you’ve learned in therapy to your daily life. Whether it’s building routines, practicing new skills, or creating positive habits, our Peer Therapy Assistance is here to bridge the gap between therapy sessions and real-world outcomes.

FAQs

Can I do a meet & greet?

We value paying people fairly for the time they work, so we don’t do free meet & greets. Instead, you can book a paid trial shift where you can get a feel for what support from Neuroqueer will actually be like.

Where can I get support?

We have Peer Support Coaches all over Australia. We provide support in-person and also online telehealth support through video and phone calls or SMS.

How much does it cost?

We charge the rates set by the NDIS. At the moment, support on weekdays during business hours costs around $67.56 per hour for general support, $77 per hour for Mentoring, and $86.79 per hour for Therapy Assistance.

Support on weekends, public holidays and at different times during the day can cost more. Travel is also charged on top of those rates.

When you join Neuroqueer, we’ll help you create a budget and make sure that you’re happy with it.

What kinds of things can I do with my Peer Support Coach?

Our service is completely customised for you. When you join Neuroqueer, we’ll spend some time getting to know you and what you need from us.

To give you some ideas, some people love in-person support with things like attending community events, like body doubling (remote or in-person).

I want support but I’m a bit unsure?

It’s very normal to feel a bit nervous about meeting a new person, especially if it’s your first time getting support or you’re unsure what to expect.

We will share a Social Story with you at each step so you know what to expect.

We will also spend time getting to know you and part of that will be helping you to figure out what kind of support you need, and how we can give you that support in a way that is comfortable for you.
