Ability Ignited is built on the foundation of more than 40 years of combined Ballarat-based experience in disability support services, largely in the education, wellbeing and training spaces.

​

Our co-directors have successfully helped participants reach their goals, recognise and build on their strengths, and become successful participants in the community. 

​

Combined we have qualifications in disability, social work, counselling and workplace assessment and training. We have also individually received accreditation to facilitate Peaceful Kids and Hands on Learning (gardening and mechanical) programs.

​

Our key specialisations include:
 

• Disability support

• Life skills

• Positive behaviour change

• Wellbeing

• Counselling and family support

• Work skills education

• Hands-on learning

• Relationships

• Community engagement

• Crisis management

• Sexual health and alcohol/drug education

• Strengths-based and person-centred practices

 

Ability Ignited seeks to help participants realise their potential, continue to find purpose in their lives and become self-reliant.

 

What sets Ability Ignited apart from other disability support services is our strong holistic focus. We base our services on supporting participants on their journey to independent living and choices, while providing a safe environment. 

 

We work with families and individuals towards achieve personal goals, participate fully in their community and live their life’s purpose. 

 

We wish to assist participants to build their own resilience and skills, providing a supportive base around them so they can enjoy autonomy.
