Who Is The Bailey Support?

Real experience. Professional standards. Practical support.

The Bailey Support was built from lived experience, professional training, and a deep belief that people deserve support that feels human — not transactional.

My name is Tony Bailey.

I work in disability support and am currently completing a Masters of Counselling. My work is grounded in real-world experience, structured practice, and a genuine understanding of what it feels like to navigate complex systems while rebuilding your life.

This isn’t theory.

This is lived, learned, and led with integrity.

A Note on Lived Experience

I believe lived experience matters — when it’s integrated with professionalism.

My own journey through rebuilding, recovery, and understanding systems has shaped how I show up today. It allows me to connect with participants in a way that feels grounded and authentic.

But lived experience is never used as a substitute for standards.

Professional boundaries, documentation, compliance, and ethical practice are foundational to everything I do.

The Bigger Vision

The Bailey Support is part of a broader mission:

To help people rise with purpose — not just survive systems.

Support Coordination is one part of that journey. Counselling, coaching, and structured programs will expand over time.

The focus remains the same:

Clear structure.

Human connection.

Real progress.

Why I Started The Bailey Support

After working in frontline disability support and walking through my own journey of rebuilding, I saw a gap.

Too many people:

Feel overwhelmed by the NDIS system
Don’t fully understand their plans
Struggle to coordinate services
Feel like just another number

Support shouldn’t feel clinical or cold.

It should feel structured, empowering, and steady.

The Bailey Support exists to bridge that gap.

My Values

Integrity

Registered or unregistered — ethical practice is non-negotiable.

Empowerment

The goal isn’t dependency. It’s confidence and capability.

Clarity

No jargon. No confusion. Just practical steps.

Accountability

Clear communication. Transparent processes. Structured follow-through.

Respect

Every person’s journey is different. There is no “one size fits all.”
