Community access aims to ensure that individuals with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate actively in their communities.

At Ubuntu Va we foster inclusivity by supporting participants to access and enjoy various community-based activities and services.

Our goal is to enhance the overall quality of our participants experiences by engaging in social events such as concerts, exhibitions, excursions, and many other culturally rich events.

✔ Social & Community Participation

✔ Capacity Building in the Community

✔ Psychosocial & Emotional Support

✔ Structured Mentoring & Goal Support

✔ Hospital & Community Transition Support

Over our years of experience within the disability and community sectors we have come to recognise and appreciate the level of complexity faced by people with a disability when tackling everyday tasks and activities. We provide training and development across a range of life skills, including:

Personal Daily Care

✔ Providing respectful, reliable support with essential personal activities:

✔ Showering, bathing & personal hygiene

✔ Dressing, grooming & toileting

✔ Assistance with continence needs

✔ Skin care and basic wound hygiene (non-clinical)

✔ Medication prompts and supervision

Household Tasks & Daily Living Support

Community-Linked Self-Care Supports

Our Improved Daily Living Skills programs focus on building the participant’s functional capacity, confidence, and ability to manage everyday life as independently as possible.

What improved daily living skills supports include:

✔ Therapy & Assessment

✔ Skill Development & Training

✔ Decision Making Support

✔ Therapies to improve Independence & Participation

We offer welcoming, safe, and fully supported respite stays where participants can rest, reset, and enjoy a comfortable home away from home
