Making Home the Center of Care
Home is where most people want to receive care.
But delivering support safely in someone’s living room isn’t simple — it requires proving you can meet strict standards long before the first patient receives help.
After 15 years working across healthcare systems in the U.S. and Australia, Shmuley Goldberg had seen a growing need: people want to live well and age well at home, but the infrastructure often isn’t there to support them.
He set out to build something different: Enviva Living Solutions – a company focused on making homes safer, smarter, and ready for care.
“The future of healthcare is in the home. It sounds simple, but enabling it requires a complete shift in how we think about safety, technology, and the patient experience.”
– Shmuley (Shmuel) Goldberg, CEO of Enviva Living Solutions
Building the foundation for safe care at home
Instead of delivering care directly, Shmuley’s team focused on the practical pieces that make home-based support possible.
- Equipment — mobility aids, clinical devices, and complex medical equipment
- Supplies — continence products, wound care, and clinical consumables
- Home modifications — improving accessibility and safety
- Technology — sensors, devices, and remote monitoring that connect homes to care providers
“Our expertise lies in enabling care in the home — safely, intelligently, and with confidence. For care providers, that’s transformative.”
Using compliance as credibility - from day one
To operate under the NDIS and support people with disabilities in their homes, Enviva needed to be registered for categories like assistive technologies and home modifications. Schmuley didn’t view this as a hurdle, he viewed it as the foundation for everything he planned to build.
Being registered early changed everything.
Partners and funders saw the organisation as serious, prepared, and committed to high standards. Families felt reassured. Clinical teams were more willing to collaborate.
“Having that registration from day one added immediate credibility. It showed our partners that we take compliance seriously – that we’re building something sustainable.”
The result:
- A stronger reputation.
- Direct access to NDIS participants.
- A clear competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving market.
“When we say we’re an NDIS registered provider, it changes the conversation. People know we’re serious about quality and doing things the right way.”
Making NDIS registration a core business practice
Enviva had the right idea to register early. It allows their intention to match their identity. They chose Avaana to help make the identity a reality.
“We reached out to Avaana before we even launched. It was important to start on the right foot — to do things properly – with no surprises later.”
Avaana guided Enviva through every step of the process, from initial consultation to final approval, ensuring all documentation, audits, and compliance standards met NDIS requirements.

“I hear from others in the industry about the nightmares they’ve faced during registration. That wasn’t my experience. Avaana made it an absolute breeze.”
By partnering with Avaana early, Enviva secured its registration quickly — gaining both credibility and operational readiness in record time.
Avaana guided Enviva through every step of the process, from initial consultation to final approval, ensuring all documentation, audits, and compliance standards met NDIS requirements.
Avaana’s role didn’t end once registration was completed.
As Enviva expands into aged care and connected home technologies, Avaana continues to be a key partner — helping navigate new regulatory frameworks and preparing for the next phase of healthcare.
“Many consultants come and go, but Avaana stays consistent. They evolve with us. As we grow into aged care and complex home environments, we’ll continue to work with them.”
For Enviva, compliance is no longer an obstacle — it’s a strategic advantage.

What are the eligibility criteria to become an NDIS provider?
To become an NDIS provider, you must meet specific eligibility criteria set by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. These include having no convictions for indictable offenses, not being insolvent, and having no adverse findings or enforcement actions against you or your key personnel. Avaana can help you understand and meet these criteria to ensure a smooth registration process.
Do I need specific qualifications to register as an NDIS provider?
Yes, certain services within the NDIS registration groups require specific qualifications or accreditation with regulatory bodies such as AHPRA. Avaana can assist you in determining if your desired services require any pre-required qualifications and help you obtain them if necessary.
Can I register as an NDIS provider if I have a minor offense or past bankruptcy?
If you have committed a minor offense or have previously been bankrupt but are now discharged, you may still meet the eligibility criteria for NDIS provider registration. Avaana can provide guidance on how these factors may affect your eligibility and help you navigate the process.
What are the visa requirements for becoming an NDIS provider in Australia?

Is it possible to register only for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) under NDIS?
