1. Shared Living Market Intelligence & Reporting

Our platform captures structured compatibility data and participant preference trends, enabling governments to better understand emerging pressures within home and living markets. This supports earlier identification of instability risks, demand shifts, and placement vulnerability factors.
‍
Through tailored reporting and system-level insights, we assist agencies to:
‍

• Strengthen market stewardship functions
  ‍
  
• Improve visibility across shared living dynamics
  
  
• Identify emerging thin market pressures
  
  
• Support reform implementation with practical data
  
  
• Inform policy adjustments with real-world participant sentiment
  
  

By improving transparency within shared living arrangements, governments are better positioned to act proactively rather than reactively.

2. Reform-Aligned Pilot Implementation

Marco Polo Portal partners with government agencies to design and deliver pilots that strengthen participant choice and housing stability within shared living supports.
Our pilot frameworks are aligned with the NDIS Review, Commission findings, and broader reform priorities focused on sustainability and safeguarding.
Pilot initiatives may include:
‍

• Compatibility-based placement trials
  ‍
  
• Structured participant-led housing selection models
  
  
• Preventative matching frameworks designed to reduce placement breakdown
  
  
• Evaluation mechanisms for housing stability and participant experience
  
  

By trialling preventative infrastructure before scaling, governments can reduce implementation risk while generating practical evidence to inform broader system reform.

3. Lived Experience–Led Reform Advisory

Marco Polo Portal offers structured lived experience advisory services to support policy development, digital transformation, and shared living reform initiatives.
Led by founders and advisors with direct disability and sector experience, our advisory approach bridges policy intent with real-world implementation dynamics.
‍
We support agencies to:
‍

• Co-design participant-facing reforms
  ‍
  
• Test shared living frameworks prior to rollout
  
  
• Identify unintended safeguarding risks
  
  
• Strengthen legitimacy of reform initiatives
  
  

Our advisory model ensures reforms reflect practical realities within shared living environments, increasing uptake and reducing implementation failure.

4. Inclusive Digital Infrastructure Development

Marco Polo Portal develops secure, accessible digital platforms designed specifically for disability contexts.
Our development capability combines accessibility compliance, inclusive design, and secure data architecture to deliver systems that function effectively for participants, providers, and government stakeholders.
‍
We provide:
‍

• WCAG-aligned web application development
  ‍
  
• Secure participant data environments
  
  
• User-tested cognitive accessibility frameworks
  
  
• Integration-ready architecture
  
  

By embedding accessibility and safeguarding considerations, governments reduce digital exclusion risks and improve long-term system sustainability.
