We’ve been supporting people living with injury and disability for over 30 years.
During that time we’ve listened carefully to our community’s evolving needs, and learned from their solutions. The collaboration with the people we serve, mixing with our own wealth of lived experience and professional knowledge, has allowed us to build a range of services and supports that speak to our community’s shared needs, while also tailoring to individual circumstances.
When we deliver supports, we form a partnership with you. This partnership is rooted in trust, respect and transparency, and we call it a Service Partnership. During our initial assessment, we will seek a comprehensive understanding of you, what’s happening around you, and what you need. In turn, we will share what we can offer, and how we can offer it.
If it’s decided we are not the right fit, we will work hard to find another provider that might be. If it’s agreed we can help, then we will work closely with you to develop tailored support that meets your needs and our capacity to deliver. That spirit of collaboration and consultation continues as support is delivered, as challenges arise, and as needs evolve. Your voice is always heard, and always met with a conversation.
AQA acknowledges that we live and work on lands stolen from the oldest continuous culture on earth. While our office is on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, we live and work on First Nations lands across Victoria. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded, and that this was, and always will be, Aboriginal land. We pay our deepest respect to Elders past and present, and we thank them for holding wisdom and caring for country. We also acknowledge that AQA’s work of building a more caring and inclusive society - where everyone has the resources they need to live well - follows in the footsteps of a long and ongoing struggle of First Nations peoples across the continent to be afforded the self determination, respect and resources they need to live well.
Disability doesn’t discriminate, so our community is as diverse as the richly diverse culture we exist in. Having the fullest version of ourselves on display, seen and appreciated, is a fundamental aspect of living a full and meaningful life. It is also the foundation from which the full benefit of our capacity building and empowering supports are accessed. Recognising this, we have developed an organisational culture where diversity is not just thoughtfully and respectfully accommodated, but truly celebrated - be it ethnicity, religion, ability, age, gender, sexuality or gender identity.
