**Get the benefits of contracting without the bother**

Our Lizard Independent Therapist Model provides the benefits of being a contractor, namely a strong sense of agency and autonomy as well as sharing directly in the income you generate.

But we have smoothed the edges off the downsides, such as no paid annual or sick leave, no superannuation, and limited supervision or professional development opportunities - you get all of this

We also do the boring bits for you such as marketing for new clients, claiming, invoicing and administration with our central operations team.

Best of all, Lizard is a registered NDIS provider for Improved Relationships and Positive behaviour Supports.

So, you can focus on building your local client caseload, changing the life trajectory of the children you support, and sharing in the income and growth you generate.
