What Danny Met Sally does

Danny Met Sally Pty Ltd is an Australian national disability service provider operating as a registered NDIS provider (Registration No 4050091684), delivering a comprehensive suite of supports to participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. The company is headquartered in Sydney with regional offices in Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and the Gold Coast, and provides services across NSW, VIC, SA, ACT, QLD, WA and NT through more than 700 support workers, administration and client care staff. Founded in 2021–2022 by Rick Dalton (CEO) and Ashleigh Dalton (COO), the business is inspired by personal experiences with disability within the founders' families and is positioning itself as a premium, person-centred alternative in the NDIS market. The co-founders retain full executive ownership, with no disclosed external institutional investors.

The service portfolio spans Core Supports (in-home care, personal care, high-intensity physical support, community nursing), Support Coordination, Community Access and Participation (including an accessible vehicle fleet), Short-Term Accommodation/Respite, and a full housing vertical comprising Supported Independent Living (SIL) across 40+ homes and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) featuring smart home automation (Amazon Alexa, automated lighting, blinds, air conditioning, smart power points, tablet control). Underlying technology includes digital ID for client security and conventional online platforms for scheduling, reporting and payroll. A clinical Learning and Development program, led by in-house Clinical Nurse Educators, covers complex care competencies (medication administration, dysphagia, enteral feeding, ventilator, tracheostomy, catheter, wound care, subcutaneous injections). Content and brand-building are supported by the Met TV video storytelling platform. Strategic partnerships with Apprenticeship Careers Australia (workforce pipeline), Momentum Health Collective (allied health integration) and North Sydney Bears (community engagement) extend the service and talent ecosystem.

The business model is government-funded and recurring: services are billed through NDIS participant plans under categories including Core Supports, Support Coordination, SDA, SIL and STA, with the company assisting participants in navigating eligibility and plan utilisation. Distribution is direct via employed support workers delivering in-home and community-based services, complemented by a housing portfolio. Customer acquisition combines direct outreach, online enquiry capture, healthcare professional and support coordinator referrals, and community-led engagement through storytelling. Operational scale has grown rapidly to 700+ staff and national coverage within roughly three years, funded organically without disclosed external capital.
