The Disability Trust is committed to providing highly professional care and services for people with disabilities and their families. The Disability Trust has its roots firmly in the community, having been established in 1974 to help children with disabilities and their families. In recent years we have grown substantially, and now have more than 1000 permanent and casual staff providing support to around 4000 service users. We acknowledge and respect the continuing custodians of the many Countries and Nations on which we provide services. We recognise the enduring hardship and displacement our First Nations people have suffered and the great strength and intergenerational resilience of Elders, and honour the culture and wisdom passed down to current and emerging community leaders. As our name implies, trust is central to our operations. As we have grown we have maintained an over-riding commitment to quality care and support tailored to the needs of each individual. People with disabilities and their families trust us to give them the highest possible levels of care and support; our staff trust us to provide the training and support they need in their rewarding but often challenging work; and government agencies trust us to deliver best practice standards of client care and services. The Disability Trust is committed to creating an inclusive world built on trust, respect and equality, where people with a disability live the life they choose.
