What LiveBig does

LiveBig is an Australian multidisciplinary allied health provider delivering therapy services to people with disability. Founded in 2019 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Arriba Group, the company operates as an NDIS-registered provider (NDIS Organisation ID 405 006 0975) and serves National Disability Insurance Scheme participants across Australia, with adjunct service to private-paying clients and contracted schools.

The company's service portfolio spans eight core categories: Speech Pathology, Psychology, Positive Behaviour Support, Social Work, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Telehealth, and Support for Schools. In 2025, LiveBig extended the portfolio with a Cognitive Assessment service line. Delivery combines in-person clinics in four metropolitan markets — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth — with a national telehealth channel run on the RMReach platform. Embedded technology partners include Amelia Virtual Care (VR-delivered psychology), LusioRehab (gamified wearable physiotherapy), and AskNicely for customer experience measurement; none of these is described as proprietary.

LiveBig's revenue model is anchored in the NDIS Price Guide, with services billed under scheme line items to individual participants and supplemented by private-paying clients and a schools program contracted through the NSW Department of Education. The company does not publicly disclose revenue, headcount, or funding history. It has been listed on the AFR BOSS Best Places to Work for five consecutive years through 2024 and operates within the broader Arriba Group ecosystem alongside sister companies in employment services and workplace rehabilitation.
