What Ability is now on the small screen, with an exciting news feature by Sky News and Paul Murray On Air. Two of our star athletes, Sydney Swifts’ captain Maddy Proud and GWS Giants midfielder Ally Dallaway gave insight into how rewarding their work with What Ability feels, and how crucial it is that everyone has the chance to have fun.
Our founder Steve and CEO Belinda also spoke about how using athletes as support workers helps to dissolve the stigma surrounding people with disability. Then, Participants Matty and Kimberley shared how What Ability has supported them in unleashing their potential. Ken Yazici, one of our participant’s parents also made it known that he never imagined that a service like What Ability could exist.
We are so thankful to Sky News and Paul Murray On Air for shining a light on breaking down barriers in the disability sector!
Our very own founder Steve Dresler has been nominated for Young Australian of the Year award! This nomination recognises the work Steve, What Ability and the What Ability Foundation have been doing in the disability support space.
The NSW nominees are among 131 people being recognised across all states and territories. The four award recipients from NSW will be announced on the evening of Wednesday 2 November in a ceremony at Luna Park.
Congratulations Steve and thank you to every participant, family member, support worker and office worker at What Ability for putting happiness first. This is only the beginning!
We’re having our very first Wollongong Open Day on 15 October 2022!
If you’re looking for support or want to be a support worker, come down and join us for a BBQ and beach day.
Our team will be there ready to discuss bookings, participants, support worker roles, partnership opportunities and more.
We can’t wait to see you there!
