We put people
at the centre

Mavara was founded with a clear purpose: to build a support coordination organisation that genuinely puts people first. We saw too many NDIS participants left confused by their plans, underserved by providers, and without real advocacy.

Led by Rick Handa — Director, Support Coordinator, and proud father — Mavara brings professional expertise, genuine compassion, and a deeply personal commitment to every participant we work with.

What we offer

Mavara provides comprehensive NDIS support coordination services tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Levels of Support Coordination

The NDIS funds three levels of support coordination. Mavara delivers Level 1 and Level 2. The right level for you will be included in your NDIS plan.

1
Support Connection

Level 1

Short-term assistance to help you understand your plan, connect with providers and get started with your NDIS journey. Ideal for participants with straightforward needs.

2
Coordination of Supports

Level 2

Ongoing support to implement and manage your plan. We help you build skills, maintain relationships with providers and work toward greater independence. The most common level.

3
Specialist Support

Level 3

For participants with complex needs requiring specialist support. We can help connect you with a qualified Specialist Support Coordinator if your plan includes this level.

What we do

Understanding your NDIS plan can feel overwhelming — confusing categories, complex language and unclear limits. At Mavara, we sit with you and break it all down so you know exactly what you're entitled to and how to use it effectively.

Finding the right providers is time-consuming and stressful. Mavara does the legwork — researching, contacting and vetting providers so you get quality support that fits your goals and budget.

Research suitable providers in your area

Negotiate pricing and service agreements
Set up bookings and introductions
Monitor provider performance ongoing

A key part of support coordination is linking you with the allied health professionals who can assess, treat and support you. Mavara identifies who you need, finds quality practitioners and ensures everything is coordinated through your plan.

Who we are

"We started Mavara because we believed NDIS participants deserved better. More clarity, more care, and a team that truly walks alongside them."
Rick Handa
Director & Support Coordinator, Mavara
💙 NDIS Support Coordination

We put people at the centre

Mavara was founded with a clear purpose: to build a support coordination organisation that genuinely puts people first. We saw too many NDIS participants left confused by their plans, underserved by providers, and unsupported through the process. We knew there was a better way.

Our team is built around the belief that great support coordination is about real relationships, not just paperwork. We take the time to understand each participant as an individual: their goals, their challenges, and what a good life looks like for them.

Every decision we make is guided by one simple question: is this truly in the best interest of the participant? That commitment shapes how we work, who we work with, and the standard of care we hold ourselves to.

Rick Handa - Director of Mavara
Rick Handa
Director & Support Coordinator

Rick Handa is the founder and Director of Mavara, and the person you will work with directly. He brings professional expertise, genuine compassion, and a deeply hands-on approach to every participant he supports.

Rick founded Mavara after seeing firsthand how NDIS participants were being let down — by coordinators who were stretched too thin, systems that felt impossible to navigate, and a lack of genuine advocacy. He set out to build a service he would be proud to recommend to his own family.

As a father to a young child, Rick understands better than most what it means to want the very best for your family. That same care and dedication — the kind you'd give your own loved ones — is what he brings to every participant he works with. Family is at the heart of who he is, and it shapes how he shows up for the people he supports every single day.

Whether it is navigating a complex plan, connecting someone with the right providers, or simply being present during a difficult moment, Rick brings both professionalism and heart to everything he does. He is known for being responsive, thorough, and genuinely invested in the outcomes of the people he supports.
