Helping You Achieve Choice And The Independence You Deserve.
Did you know that every dollar donated to Independence Australia goes toward our vital psychology and counselling services, where funding gaps occur?
How do you contribute ?
As a social enterprise, the income we make is invested back into the vital services we provide to help with disabilities.
Did you know that we deliver hundreds of thousands of hours of in-home and community disability supports?
We are committed to providing you with the opportunities you need to thrive in life, we are by your side offering our continued support, so you can connect with your community and achieve confidence.
Watching people achieve goals, step out of their comfort zones, embracing individuality, building confidence and reaching for the stars to find their own unique purpose, has been the greatest impact of our Psychology and Counselling services this year.
This year, we held 430+ counselling sessions across our psychology and counselling division.
Our psychology and counselling team have provided individuals, couples and families, a safe space to share experiences, connect with others, overcome barriers and challenges that their disabilities have presented, as well as help our individuals with disabilities find their own unique purpose.
