Who are Costello Consultancy?

Costello Consultancy has humble beginnings, with a proud Irish heritage.  Catherine began this business in 2019,  as a family run business with a holistic approach to providing NDIS supports to participants. Still now family owned and run, we have gratefully grown to who we are today. 

Our strong family values are embedded throughout our organisation, ensuring we have a 'client first' focus.  This approach is at the forefront of every decision that is made in relation to the strategic direction and daily operation of the organisation and most importantly, how we support our participants on their NDIS journey.
