Life Without Barriers is a leading social purpose, not for profit organisation of 8,000 employees working in more than 500 communities across Australia. We support children, young people and families, people with disability, older people, and people with mental illness. We work with people who are homeless, refugees and asylum seekers.

Empowering people with disability to live life the way they choose is at the heart of how Life Without Barriers has operated for over 25 years.
