Ability Links: A new way for people with disability

Ability Links coordinators, called “Linkers”, will work with clients to connect them with local communities in order to shape a more inclusive society for people with disability and their families.

Linkers will help people with disability, their carers and families plan for their futures, build on their strengths and skills, and develop networks in their own communities so they can achieve their potential.

The program provides people with a locally based, first point of contact to support people to access support and services in their local communities. Linkers also work with local communities to help them become more welcoming and inclusive of people with disability.
