Vivability Limited

Summary

Vivability is a leading provider of services to people with disabilities ranging in ages and cultural backgrounds in the Bathurst and Lithgow areas in New South Wales, Australia. It has been in operation for the last 35 years.

We aim to provide services that are unique, flexible, and guided by our sound clinical practice. The model of support is person centred that is, the person with disability is at the centre of decision making. This involves identifying the individual’s personal goals and supporting the client to meet those goals.
Our services include Supported Accommodation, Respite, Drop-in Support, Day Programs, Work Training programs, Recreation, Therapy services, Behavioural Intervention and Support Coordination. All our services are individual to the client with a focus on increasing independence, self-determination, and community participation.
The programs we offer supports individuals to respond to life’s challenges and be active in the community. We promote strong advocacy for each client. Vivability is actively involved in the community and work with local networks, organisations, businesses, and residents.
Vivability believes in the need for constant improvement and has a continuous improvement plan in place. With the privatisation of the disability sector in NSW, Australia it became evident that there would be significant gaps to specialist services within the sector. There was the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The shift to the NDIS has meant that individuals with disability are funded solely based on their needs for services. Clients choose their own service providers from which to purchase their required service. This has created a highly competitive environment within the disability sector.
Vivability is committed to being a well - resourced organisation to the specialist services. These services include therapy and a Behavioural Intervention Teams which guide clinical practice. Our services are available to individuals as well as other organisations.
Vivability is committed to training and providing staff with the opportunity to achieve nationally recognised qualifications. We believe that this makes a significant contribution to developing a skilled workforce.
