About Me.

Hi, I’m Joanne — the creator behind WorkSmart Templates.

With a background in disability, education, client services, and NDIS support roles, I’ve spent years working directly with people and small providers who juggle overwhelming admin alongside everything else they do. I’ve seen first-hand how paperwork, documentation, and organisation can quickly become stressful, confusing, and time-consuming — especially for neurodivergent individuals, support workers, and small business owners doing it all themselves.

Living with Autism, ADHD, and chronic health conditions myself has shaped how I design: everything must be clear, simple, low-stress, and genuinely practical. I create templates that remove mental clutter, save energy, and bring calm structure to busy workloads — without the complexity of traditional systems.

WorkSmart Templates exists to make admin:

  • Easier to understand

  • Faster to complete

  • Less overwhelming

  • Consistent and professional

So you can focus on what really matters — supporting people or running your business — instead of wrestling with paperwork.

Our Services

  • Support workers

  • OSHC (Outside School Hours Care)
