Mable is the online platform where people connect to provide and receive disability support their way.
More than 20 million hours of support have been delivered through Mable over the last ten years, enabling hundreds of thousands of people across Australia to live their kind of independence.
You can register on Mable to find, book and manage support for yourself or a person with disability – either by paying privately, or by using available government funding options, such as the NDIS.
Here’s how some of our community members have found Independence on Mable:
How Jacob pursues his hobbies and new interests
By finding independent support workers that suit the skills Jacob needs, he has the freedom to pursue his hobbies, current and new.
Jacob says, “For example, I want to learn how to speak Mandarin, so I have found a support worker that can teach me the culture and language.”
“And they’re flexible too – which is good, because my business changes all the time,” he explains.
Travel, museums and more – support that Samantha wants
Samantha finds independence through her support team in many ways, whether it’s daily chores or special events.
“My support team is fantastic – we do everything from meal preparation and laundry together, to going on shopping trips or to art classes, museum shows or the movies. They’ve even supported me when I needed to travel up and down the coast for work by making sure I wasn’t overdoing things, and supporting me in places that aren’t always accessible,” Samantha says.
Doing what he loves – how Henry is thriving with autism support
For Henry, who has autism and ADHD, being home-schooled was the best pathway to education. To encourage him in having social relationships and support him at home, Henry’s mother Annabel found Mable independent support worker Darryl, whose grandsons live with autism.
Darryl spends time with Henry doing practical activities and has taught him a range of ‘life skills’ including woodwork and how to safely build a fire and use tools. Annabel says Darryl has been instrumental in helping Henry to regain trust in adults, other than family and friends.
