Tommy Trout

Something sparked inside Tommy Trout when his father, who was on the autism spectrum, died of preventable health conditions at a young age. Tommy knew bad health and lifestyle choices had been significant factors in his death. When Tommy realised his brother, who is also on the spectrum, was going to suffer the same fate, he was motivated to do something about it.

In Tommy’s search for supports in the form of personal trainers and gyms, he quickly realised there was little available. Tommy soon became a personal trainer and discovered meeting the needs of those living with disability would require professional development.

This is how the concept of his NDIS business WeFlex was born.

WeFlex connects people with disability to fitness professionals. By listening to their client’s specific needs and goals, WeFlex will upskill the chosen trainer to meet these needs by undertaking modules tailored to the client.

Having little understanding of the NDIS, Tommy was relieved when Provider+ had services to help him build his business to support people with disability.

Tommy found Provider+ gave him beneficial support in his NDIS journey by providing fast and easy access to online and phone support. Experts answered his questions giving valuable and informative advice within 24 hours of contact. Tommy feels Provider+ allowed him to make solid decisions that led to the growth and success of his provider business today.

In 2022, WeFlex was a finalist in the National Best New Business Awards in the disability and services community. Tommy doesn’t believe that would have been possible without Provider+.
