Acknowledgement of Country


Sovereignty was never ceded. No treaty was ever signed. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which this work is made, and that does not become less true with time, legislation or silence.

FREE 2B ME acknowledges Elders past, present and emerging. This body of work exists because systems cause harm when they ask people to become easier to accommodate. No community in this country has been asked to do that more often, or for longer, than First Nations peoples.

We hold that as a matter of practice, not sentiment.

The FREE 2B ME Practice Library

The same human question, seen from both sides of support.

Eight complete books. One shared promise.

Less fixing. More living.


Your life belongs to you. Supporting it carries responsibility.

Four books explore understanding yourself, what nourishes you, the support you choose and the life you want to live.

Four professional companions explore what these ideas ask of practitioners, supervisors and organisations: how they understand people, make decisions, provide support and remain accountable.

Each book stands on its own. Read the one that matters to you. Explore its companion if you want another perspective.

The person-facing books offer language, reflection and possibilities for your own life.

The professional companions bring access, evidence, reasoning, consent, scope and accountability into practice across counselling, Positive Behaviour Support, disability support, supervision and organisational work.

Across all eight, the person remains the author of their own life.

Eight books. Two perspectives. A$39 each. Reserve now; pay when your book launches.
