Disability Professionals Competitors

The Disability Trust is committed to providing highly professional care and services for people with disability and their families. The Disability Trust has its roots firmly in the community, having been established in 1974 to help children with disability and their families. In recent years we have grown substantially, and now have more than 3000 permanent and casual staff providing support to more than 6000 service users. We acknowledge and respect the continuing custodians of the many Countries and Nations on which we provide services. We recognise the enduring hardship and displacement our First Nations people have suffered and the great strength and intergenerational resilience of Elders, and honour the culture and wisdom passed down to current and emerging community leaders. As our name implies, trust is central to our operations. As we have grown, we have maintained an over-riding commitment to quality care and support tailored to the needs of each individual. People with disability and their families trust us to give them the highest possible levels of care and support; our staff trust us to provide the training and support they need in their rewarding but often challenging work; and government agencies trust us to deliver best practice standards of care and services. The Disability Trust is committed to creating an inclusive world built on trust, respect and equality, where people with a disability live the life they choose.

Able Australia is one of Australia’s leading not-for-profit organisations, delivering high quality, person-centred services to people living with multiple disabilities, including deafblindness and in community support services. From its humble beginnings in 1967 as an association for people with deafblindness and rubella, Able Australia has grown into a diverse and dynamic organisation that supports more than 4000 people throughout the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Queensland and Victoria. Today, we employ more than 500 staff and are assisted by over 200 volunteers who are passionate about ensuring every person we support is seen, heard, respected, valued and connected.

Disability Services Australia (DSA) is a purpose driven social enterprise supporting people with a disability in key regions of New South Wales. We provide contemporary, innovative services that promote choice and self-determination for the people we serve. DSA was established in 1957, when a group of likeminded families banded together to provide employment opportunities for their children, after they had completed school. Today, our vision remains consistent with the vision of those founding families – a life of choice and inclusion for all. DSA has grown to be one of the largest values-based disability service organisations in NSW, employing over 1800 people.
