Welcome to The Chooze Shop
Chooze is not just another online marketplace. It's a community dedicated to supporting people with disabilities and creating a more inclusive society.
My name is Rick Neagle and as the founder of Chooze, I have a personal connection to this mission. I am the father of a young man with autism, and I know firsthand challenges and joys of parenting a child with disability. With the help of his NDIS Plan, Mitchell can now live independently with a range of supports.
Our vision for Chooze
Is to empower people with disabilities, including ageing Australians, by providing them with easier access to products that can help reduce or eliminate the impact of their disabilities. So far, we have over 130 sellers and 2000 products available for purchase.
The team at Chooze is committed to creating a marketplace that is not only inclusive but also accessible. We have dedicated NDIS friendly invoicing, the ability to quickly compare products from different Australian sellers and purchase multiple products from multiple Australian sellers at the same time. We also offer direct claiming through Plan Managers by handling it all on your behalf. Whether you are Self-Managed or Plan Managed, you’ll have an easy to view history of all your purchases via our customer portal.
Our sellers are carefully vetted to ensure that they meet our high standards for accessibility and inclusivity. We work with sellers who share our values and are committed to creating a more inclusive society.
At Chooze, we believe that everyone, regardless of their disability, should have easier access to the tools and resources they need to live their lives to the fullest.
We are excited to welcome you to our journey of making a difference in the lives of people with disabilities.

Community
We acknowledge the privilege of being part of a diverse and passionate community within the disability sector. Chooze will always look to our community for feedback – we serve them. Opportunities to work more closely with participants, their families and supporters are a non-negotiable part of our DNA which adds value and joy to our team. We empower our staff by actively listening to and recognising their needs and supporting their professional development.
