FAQ

How Hard is it to Look After?

As this is a small aquaponics system, it is super easy to maintain and look after. A great way to kick the tyres for both yourself and your clients. With proper design (covered in the course) and maintenance it takes less than 5 mintues per day to look after, and 20 minutes once per week for other checks and care.

What are my qualifications regarding aquaponics

I've noticed that the NDIS is attracting providers who lack experience in the areas that they are offering. only wanting to make a quick buck.

I'm an NDIS participant as well as provider, and I want to help others who might find this helpful. I have 4 years of formal training in aquaculture and 15 years of experience in backyard and commercial aquaponics. I have also studied and worked in welfare, youthwork, and disability. This gives me the technical knowledge and experience for aquaponics and the experience and knowledge that I need to break things down into the simplest explanations so anyone can understand.

Everyone has the right to healthy food, not just those without a disability and my desire is to bring this to people who will benefit most from it.
