Who is Ability WA?

We began in 1951 as a small group of parents who formed an organisation looking for an innovative way to access care and support for their children with Cerebral Palsy. In 2022 we are recognised as one of WA’s leading disability service providers. Our sector has changed a lot over the years, and we have too. What remains the same is our dedication to our customers and our staff.
