ListenSupport for people with a disability
We provide flexible support and services to respond to the diverse needs of people with a disability and their families.
What is a disability?
A disability can stop you from doing some of the things that you want to do. Most disabilities cannot be cured and are with a person for life. People can be born with a disability or may develop a disability later because of an illness or accident.

What support is available?
The vast majority of people with a disability are cared for at home with the support of their family and friends.
Many of our services help people with a disability to continue living at home and participate in their community.
These services include:
- help for families and children to give them the best start and keep them safe
- behaviour support for people with challenging behaviour, and their families
- opportunities for school leavers and adults with a disability to learn new skills
- everyday living support through therapy, community nursing and case management services
- help directing your own life through advocacy and information services and local support coordination
- respite (short breaks) for carers and people with a disability
- help living at home with intensive support.
