Different by Design

FIShR's founder, Steve Robinson, spent over 35 years in WA's human services sector before building FIShR - long enough to see exactly what doesn't work: families with three different coordinators in a year, support workers who couldn't say when anyone last checked in. That's not rare - it's what happens when structure comes before relationships.

We wanted better. So we started with the relationship that matters most - participants and their direct supports - and built outward from there.

Our Coordinators of Supports and Independent Support Workers are business partners, not names on a large agency's roster. The support workers they employ work for someone genuinely invested in getting it right - small, intentional teams, by design.

But we didn't stop there - keeping good people in the sector matters to us. So we built a genuine career pathway too: not just a stop-gap while you study or look for something else, but a real way to grow.
