A decade of Valued Lives
Transforming the lives of people with disability
Putting you in control so you can dream big, create a meaningful life and plan for the future.
You’re in the driver’s seat
Giving you the power to choose and control the supports and services that shape your journey.
Inclusion matters
Good citizenship and social inclusion are at the heart of what we do.
Together we’re better
Working in partnership with you, we help you achieve your goals and aspirations, to live your best life.
Everyone has the right to a valued life
We’re driven to create valued roles and an inclusive society for people with disability. And for over 10 years, Valued Lives has added choice, control and inspiration to the lives of people with disability, their families and supporters.
Bringing our own experiences
Many of us have a personal connection to the cause, known as lived experience of disability. Meaning we either have a family member with disability or identify as a person with disability ourselves.
Because of this shared lived experience, we have a greater understanding of some of the challenges you face.
We are family founded
Valued Lives was founded in 2013 by a group of families with lived experience, determined to improve the support available for people with disability.
These parents envisioned an organisation that recognised their family members as individuals, capable of thriving with the right supports, and leading lives full of meaning and value.
Frustrated by the lack of services that prioritised personalised care and future planning, they decided to create their own solution.
Since then, Valued Lives has built a strong reputation for delivering tailored support, focused on capacity building and designed to meet your unique needs. Here, you drive the journey.
Valued Lives timeline
Based in Perth, we provide support services to people with disability living in the wider metropolitan area.
Over the past decade, we’ve accomplished a lot and reached many milestones, from launching the Peer- to Peer Connect WA project to delivering the My Home My Design Project with the National Alliance of Capacity Building Organisations (NACBO).
2023 was a significant year for Valued Lives. We celebrated our 10-year anniversary and underwent a brand refresh. It was also the launch of Empowered Connections, an initiative which emphasises peer connection to build capacity.
A change in direction
At the end of 2024 we decided to close our Support Coordination and Home and Community Support delivery model to focus solely on capacity building services through Empowered Connections.
We believe this new model is more closely aligned to our core mission of supporting people with disability and their families to build capacity, empowering them to make choices and take control of their lives.
