Growing An NDIS Business Through Change, with Danielle Creffield (Ep 58)
Jul 12, 2026 Season 1 Episode 58
Michael Clark from Athletic Koala

Growing an NDIS business is never just about getting more participants. It is about adapting, making tough decisions, and building a service that continues to meet people's needs as the sector changes.

In this episode of NDIS Provider Growth Journey, Michael sits down with Danielle Creffield, founder of Quad Care, to talk about what it has really been like growing a multidisciplinary care business through more than a decade of change. From nursing and allied health to support work and changing funding models, Danielle shares why having everything under one roof can create better outcomes for participants and their families.

The conversation also explores the challenges that provider owners rarely talk about. Danielle opens up about the financial uncertainty that comes with growth, the setbacks of changing government programs, and why coaching played such an important role in helping her build a business with more than 75 staff. She explains why good leaders never stop learning and why solving today's problems while planning for tomorrow is one of the most valuable skills an NDIS provider can develop.

If you're growing an NDIS business, navigating change, or wondering how experienced providers continue moving forward through uncertainty, this episode is full of practical lessons from someone who has lived it.
