Austin Abilities provides a range of specialised services designed to empower individuals with disabilities, ensuring they receive the support necessary to thrive in their communities.
Finding the right home can be challenging. We support participants to explore housing options, apply for rental properties, understand tenancy rights and responsibilities, and resolve any housing-related issues. Our goal is to help you live in a safe, comfortable, and stable home that meets your needs.
We provide and recommend products that make personal care easier and safer. This may include shower chairs, grab rails, pressure care mattresses, emergency alarms, or other aids that promote independence and reduce risks at home.
Our team helps participants access mobility aids such as manual or powered wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and scooters. These products are tailored to improve independence, comfort, and mobility at home and in the community.
Life changes—such as leaving school, starting a new job, or moving into independent living—can feel overwhelming. We provide guidance, mentoring, and practical supports to make these transitions smoother. Our aim is to build confidence and independence at every stage of life.
We offer daily living support for personal care needs, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and eating. These services can be provided at home or in the community, depending on your needs, while always respecting your dignity and preferences.
Getting from place to place is important for independence. We provide safe, reliable transport to appointments, work, study, or social outings. We can also support participants in learning how to use public transport with confidence.
Leisure and hobbies are an important part of life. We supply adaptive equipment—such as modified sporting gear, musical instruments, or technology—that allows participants to fully enjoy recreational and social activities.
We assist participants with vision impairments by providing specialised devices such as magnifiers, braille readers, talking software, and other tools to improve independence and access to information.
We provide support for participants living in shared or group homes. This includes help with cooking, cleaning, personal care, and building household routines. Our focus is on creating a safe, supportive, and cooperative living environment.
We encourage participants to try new experiences and connect with the community in meaningful ways. This may include volunteering, joining local clubs, engaging in creative projects, or attending workshops designed to build skills and confidence.
Building everyday skills is key to independence. We support participants to learn practical skills such as cooking, budgeting, shopping, using technology, or catching public transport. These skills empower participants to live more independently and confidently.
We provide assistance with household chores like cleaning, laundry, gardening, grocery shopping, and meal preparation. These supports ensure a safe and healthy home environment.
We support participants with hearing loss by supplying devices such as hearing aids, listening systems, and alerting devices. These products improve communication, safety, and quality of life.
We provide specialised tools and modifications that make everyday household tasks easier. This could include adapted kitchen utensils, hoists, or smart home devices that improve safety and independence.
We provide technology that supports effective communication, including speech-generating devices, apps, tablets, and communication boards. These tools empower participants to connect with others and express themselves more easily.
We assist participants to actively engage in social, cultural, and recreational activities within their community. This could include attending events, joining local programs, or building social networks that promote inclusion and wellbeing.
We offer safe, modern, and purpose-built housing designed for people with very high support needs. SDA homes provide features that maximise independence, accessibility, and comfort while ensuring 24/7 support is available if required.
We provide tailored employment support for people with disability, including training, workplace adjustments, and mentoring. Our focus is on helping participants gain meaningful work and build long-term career pathways.
We run a variety of group activities and programs in safe, welcoming spaces. These activities are designed to build social connections, encourage learning, and promote personal growth. From workshops and skill-building classes to social outings, there’s something for everyone.
