 Have had many service providers over the past 8 years with NDIS and Able Koala is a cut above the rest. They are friendly, responsive, very accommodating of my needs, and able to help me get most out of my plan in accordance with NDIS guidelines.

I’ve been receiving support from Able Koala Care Services over the past 4 years, and I couldn’t be happier with their service. The team is always attentive to my needs and genuinely cares about my wellbeing. My support worker has been incredibly kind, reliable, and supportive throughout our time together. Their care and commitment have made a real difference in my day-to-day life. I truly appreciate the personalised and compassionate approach they bring. Highly recommend!

The level of care at Able Koala is truly exceptional!

Average: 5 (1 vote)

Able Koala Carers have been looking after my wife for over three years, and the level of care they provide is truly exceptional. My wife lives with early-onset Alzheimer's disease and requires 24-hour care, as she’s unable to manage any tasks herself. She’s currently in a Supported Independent Living house, where the carers have consistently shown professionalism, warmth, and compassion. They’re trustworthy and friendly, and they genuinely engage with my wife, helping her experience joy and comfort in her daily life. The meals they prepare are both nourishing and diverse. Able Koala has lifted a tremendous burden from my shoulders, easing the stress and worry I felt while caring for her alone. I wholeheartedly recommend their service.
