Tara’s Support Services Barraba

🚫 We have issued lifetime banning orders to NDIS consultant Zeinab Ghamraoui and NDIS auditor Sanyog Desai.

The pair is alleged to have colluded to register more than 200 providers using false or misleading information.

We have refused 195 provider registrations and revoked a further 40 registrations linked to the pair.

These are the first banning orders issued under new powers that allow us to ban auditors and consultants from working in the NDIS.

Registration is one of the NDIS Commission's most important safeguards for preventing harm, protecting participants and driving quality across the sector. We will take strong action against anyone who undermines the integrity of the Scheme.

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that Tara’s Support Services has officially been named a Finalist! 🎉🏆

When I started this journey, my goal was simple—to provide genuine, compassionate support and help people build their independence and confidence. To now be recognised as a finalist is something I’m incredibly proud of.

A huge thank you to my participants, their families, and everyone who has supported, encouraged, and believed in me along the way. I truly couldn’t have done it without you.

No matter the outcome, being a finalist is already an incredible achievement, and I’m so grateful for this opportunity.

Here’s to celebrating small business, our local community, and making a positive difference every day. ❤️

Congratulations to the finalists in the 2026 Excellence in Disability & Support Services category.

Financial stress doesn’t look the same for everyone. For some people, it builds quietly over time. For others, it can feel sudden or overwhelming.

Reaching out can happen in different ways, through a conversation, a message, or by learning more about available support.

What matters is that help is available when someone is ready.

If financial pressure is affecting your wellbeing, Lifeline is here to listen. Visit lifeline.org.au/get-help or call 13 11 14. Support is available 24/7.
