About us
Alkira is a for-purpose organisation that is all about community access and inclusion for people who have a disability. We are committed to providing a positive experience and partnering with the community to provide greater choice and control for participants. Every team member is dedicated to supporting people to achieve their goals. For us it is not just about delivering a wide range of quality programs and services, it is about building a safe, supportive and encouraging environment where everyone can reach their full potential. When we asked ourselves what is the incentive to invest in new ways of supporting people the answer was clear. Better outcomes for the people we support! We want participants to live independently, gain sustainable employment and have access to new opportunities and pathways. We are committed to achieving this by being innovative and focused on service reform while making sure that our values remain strong. Alkira offers a wide range of options including, but not limited to: • Community Access and Activities • Education and Training Programs • Sport and Recreational Activities • Life Skills and Independent Living Programs • Employment Pathways and Assistance • Practical Skills • In-Home Support • Supported Accommodation and Short-Term Accommodation • Recreational activities and holidays Alkira’s Board, Management and team members are diverse, responsive and determined to support people to maximise opportunities and inspire them to live the life they choose. We partner with participants and their families/carers, like-minded organisations and the broader community to ensure that programs and services offered to meet the needs and expectations of the community. Life is full of opportunities and we are proud to be part of people’s journeys. The Alkira community challenges people to get involved and think about how they can be part of enhancing social inclusion and build a resilient and strong community.

The NDIS does not cover living expenses like rent, groceries, or utilities - so if you are starting to make plans for the person you support you will need to factor this in and plan accordingly. 🏡 About 22% of NDIS participants qualify for SIL, but only 6-7% for SDA. These funding types are assessed differently and serve different needs.
