Stuart Carrick is a young guy from Margaret River, who has a passion for conservation and organic food production. He has completed various studies in horticulture and volunteers at the local community garden.

After securing a plot of land close to Margaret River, and with the support of Enable Southwest’s MOBI ‘My Own Business Initiative’ program that Stuart was able to access through his NDIS plan, he has started his own enterprise called, ‘Sunny in Marg’s Nursery’.

Stuart has had to overcome many obstacles due to long term health issues to achieve his dream of the organic nursery and admits that he couldn’t have done it without the support of his plan and Enable. He has tried a number of traditional forms of employment however, having the flexibility and the understanding of employers around his disability has proven to be an ongoing issue.

Stuarts innovative thinking and drive, partnered with Enable’s MOBI program and his support workers provided through his NDIS plan have been the reason for his success. Stuart now lives independently, still volunteers at the community garden and has now gained the confidence to get involved with a local theatre group. He has worked hard on his fitness and is living the best life he can. He attributes this to the support that he has received through the MyWay NDIS trial plans and his current NDIS plan and his work with MOBI.
