Essentially Your Choice Jacqui Linde

Jacqui Linde

Director, Support Coordinator, Specialist Support Coordinator & Psychosocial Recovery Coach

As the Director of Essentially Your Choice, Jacqui leads with a simple yet powerful philosophy: everything starts with you. Deeply rooted in the Newcastle and Hunter communities, Jacqui established EYC to be a “lighthouse” for NDIS participants. Providing the steady guidance and safety needed to navigate the complexities of the system.

Driven by a commitment to ethical practice and genuine connection, Jacqui has built a team that stands by its word. She ensures that every participant is treated not just as a number, but as an individual with a voice that deserves to be heard.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

Leading From The Heart

For Jacqui, EYC is a personal mission coming to life from both professional experience and first-hand understanding gained through raising her sons.

This lived experience provides a practical insight into the challenges participants and families can face when navigating the NDIS, and continues to inform EYC’s approach to delivering supports that are clear, person-centred, and grounded in real-world needs.

From its beginnings in Newcastle, EYC has grown to support participants across the Hunter region and remote communities nationwide, with a focus on ensuring access to quality support regardless of location.
