Our Story
What Ability is an NDIS registered disability support service utilising professional and semi professional athletes as support workers.
Founder Steve Dresler saw the benefits first-hand of athletes as support workers. Having faced early retirement through injury, What Ability is the evolution of Steve’s innate desire to create a positive impact amongst his peers. He has built a community connecting with children and adults with disabilities. What Ability is on a mission to make happiness come first; to
enhance the clients’ perception of what is possible and take them out into the community to have fun.
What Ability is working towards the recruitment of as many professional and semi professional athletes as possible. Steve hopes to dissolve the stigma around how they are perceived when spending their time away from their sport.

STEVE’S STORY
I was just a regular kid who grew up on a farm with a dream to play in the NRL. At 21 years old, 14 surgeries later, and 4 weeks away from my dream becoming a reality, I got a phone call that changed my life forever. I had done my ACL for the 3rd time. There was a lot of dark moments in those next few months.
Coming to terms with what’s not meant to be was hard. I felt like I had my ‘passion’ taken away from me, but falling into this field has been a blessing in disguise.
“It’s their (doctors) job to be conservative, our job to conquer the world. Ours is a far better project”
