How the platform will work
From your needs to a conversation.
A match is a starting point. The choice stays with you.
Tell us what matters
Choose a shared name and describe the support, location and times that suit you.
Explore suitable options
Matching will compare your request with information supplied by service providers.
Choose to connect
Review interest or request a connection. Contact details are shared only after both sides agree.
Matching does not guarantee availability, referrals, bookings or services. Public account registration will open after launch preparations are complete.
Accessible membership. Broader choice.
Room for providers of different sizes.
Our planned starting price is intended to make membership accessible, including for smaller providers. Our aim is to give participants a wider range of options to explore.
Membership provides access to matching tools. It does not buy participants or guarantee referrals.
Understand provider membershipA few helpful answers
Clear choices from the start.
Can I register for the platform now?
This is our public information website. Platform registration and paid memberships are still being prepared. Contact us to ask about launch and access.
Will participants pay to use Wattlemark Connect?
Participant access to the matching platform is planned to remain free. Support services and their costs are arranged separately with providers.
Why is the planned membership affordable?
We aim to make access achievable for providers of different sizes, including smaller organisations. This can help participants explore a wider variety of providers. The fee is for platform tools, not guaranteed participants or referrals.
Will my contact details be shared automatically?
The planned platform workflow shares contact details only after both parties agree to connect. Use a nickname and general support information in your request.
Is a matching provider endorsed by Wattlemark Connect?
A match compares information supplied to the platform; it is not an endorsement. Participants should check suitability, qualifications, relevant registration, availability and terms before arranging services.
