Our Model of Care

People with a disability live in families and everyone within that family experiences life differently.

We recognise this through our world-leading Model of Care (based on the Aspen Institute 2 Generation Model) by delivering personalised solutions for you and every member of your family throughout the different stages of your life.

Your needs, and those of your family, change and evolve as you move through life. Our services are delivered through six key service areas, allowing for supports that can target one aspect of your life, or approached holistically to support a broad range of needs.
