Who is Possability?
Possability has been a leading not-for-profit provider of disability services and supported accommodation for more than 30 years, and has a long history in Tasmania. Our name reflects our focus on individuals’ strengths and abilities, and the desire to inspire people to realise their potential.
Possability currently provides services to 1100 people with disability across Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland with a staff team of more than 1700 employees.
Our core focus is on supported accommodation and independent living options, centred on individual needs and wishes. We also provide Child and Youth Services, supported employment services, skills development and community participation.
Possability has operated in the NDIS since 2013 and draw on this NDIS expertise to help people with disability and staff navigate the complexities of the scheme and to get the best results for people with disability. We also have a commitment to provide Child and Youth Services where we can make a positive difference.
We value the skills and commitment of our staff and look forward to joining together with the Lifestyle Solutions team to deliver more services and even better services across Australia.
