NEED SUPPORT
What Ability is a disability support service specialising in community access. We connect you with young, fit, and energetic support workers, some of whom are professional and semi-professional athletes. Our mission is to bring happiness to people living with a disability.
Our support is focused on the participants; from bushwalks to beach days, cafe trips and holiday camps. We believe when happiness comes first, you unlock your potential!

Why 1:1 support? We believe hyper-personalised support is essential to reach your goals. We’ve built a workforce that supports you, so for every participant, you’ll have a network of support workers you can call upon when you need it! We provide 1:1 support that’s provided in the safest way possible, while keeping it fun. On your bookings, you can pick from a wide range of activities and join other participants out if you’d like to work on your social skills too!
Does What Ability have a type of support entry criteria? As we currently operate, What Ability supports people living with mental health diagnoses, ASD, Intellectual Disability, Anglemans, ABI, Sanfillipo, Downs Syndrome, Fragile X, Kleefstra syndrome, Williams Syndrome, Glass Syndrome and many others.
At this time, we are unable to support participants who rely on a wheelchair full-time while out in the community, particularly those who require manual transfers. Additionally, What Ability does not have wheelchair-accessible vehicles, so participants must be able to independently and safely transfer themselves to and from the transport vehicle.
What Ability is not registered to support individuals who require assisted breathing, subcutaneous injections or PEG/tube feeding.
What Ability has implemented these arrangements to prioritise the safety and well-being of our participants. We firmly believe in providing only services for which we are fully equipped, adequately trained, and knowledgeable, ensuring the highest standard of care at all times.
