About Cencoast Advisory
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide practical, experience-based support that helps businesses and sole traders operate with clarity and control. We work across workshop operations, process improvement, compliance, and government navigation — turning complex or unclear requirements into workable systems and outcomes that make day-to-day business simpler and more sustainable.
How it started
I didn't want a digital ID
Cencoast Advisory began from a situation many Australians can relate to — I didn’t want a Digital ID, and everything became harder because of it.
Digital ID in Australia is still optional.
It isn’t law.
No one is required to have one.
But during the process of running my business as a sole trader, I discovered that “optional” doesn’t always feel optional in practice.
Some government departments and systems have already started building their processes around Digital ID, leaving very few workable alternatives for people who choose not to use it.
As a result, I found myself blocked from accessing subsidies, support programs, and essential services — not because I was ineligible, but because the system simply wasn’t designed for sole traders who choose not to adopt a Digital ID.
The alternatives that should have existed either didn’t work, weren’t published, or weren’t understood by the departments providing them.
What should have been a straightforward process turned into confusion, contradictory advice, and unnecessary roadblocks.
And I realised:
If I’m struggling — with decades of operational and compliance experience — then other sole traders, small businesses and individuals must be missing out too.
So I created Cencoast Advisory to give those people a voice.
To help businesses and individuals stay compliant without being forced into systems they’re not comfortable with.
And to make sure operators don’t lose opportunities simply because they chose not to take on a Digital ID.
