What LME Care - Registered NDIS Provider | Supported Independent Living does

LME Care is a Brisbane-based, privately held disability support provider that operates as a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider across South-East Queensland. Founded in December 2019 by co-founders Amar Sharma (CEO) and Lydia Sharma, the company delivers a coordinated portfolio of services including Supported Independent Living (SIL), Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), Short Term Accommodation (STA), Medium Term Accommodation (MTA), Community Access Support, Respite Care, and NDIS Occupational Therapy. Its sub-brand Milly's Place operates as a community hub delivering structured day programs (art, pottery, cooking, swimming, music, fitness, beauty) and a subscription-based Hub Club membership ($1,300 per 13-week term, $5,200 annually, or $50/day casual). The company has grown from a single property at founding to 12 properties (8 operational, 4 opening) across Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Beaudesert, and the Gold Coast, supported by 16 employees.

The business model is fundamentally recurring and government-funded: revenue is generated through participant NDIS plans across Core Supports (accommodation, daily living, community access, day programs) and Capacity Building (Occupational Therapy) budgets, with supplemental fixed-price recurring revenue from Hub Club memberships. Service delivery operates via direct, relationship-led outreach (referrals from support coordinators, families, and word-of-mouth), regional vacancy pages on the website, and a content/social strategy built around participant success stories and motorsport sponsorships (Vast Motorsport V8 SuperUte Series, Cenos Motorsport, Series X3 QLD, Champ Motorsport Bathurst 6 Hour). Pricing follows NDIS-administered price guides for accommodation and support services, with the Hub Club and SIL fixed weekly rental rates providing cost predictability for participants and families.

No external funding rounds, institutional investors, or publicly disclosed revenue figures are evidenced. The company is bootstrapped, founder-controlled, and continues to grow organically. In 2024, LME Care received the APAC Insider Australian Enterprise Award for "Most Dedicated Supported Independent Living Provider 2024," launched NDIS Occupational Therapy, and introduced Home Care Services in April 2024 to extend into the aged-care vertical.
