Our team genuinely cares and is ready to meet all your needs to help you reach your potential. You are our priority so we want to get to know you and help you build a supportive team to meet your needs and achieve your goals. If you are looking for a disability support service that is inclusive, empowering, and truly committed to you
We started this business because of the homless people with a disability we met. This is where support started. After working with homless disabled people, even visiting and providing support in prision, we started to broaden this to NDIS participants.
We still do community outreach and provide supports to the homless, with Malaika hosting a monthly food drive.
