Our services

Flexible support for different lives and different needs.

Support can range from a few hours for specific activities to more intensive arrangements. Services are planned around assessed need, agreed supports, safety and the person’s own preferences.

Personal Assistant service

Support that enables the person to direct their own life

The PA Service supports adults with physical and sensory disabilities. Personal Assistants work in accordance with the person's individual needs, preferences and goals.

Support may include personal care, household tasks, shopping, appointments, education, employment, social participation, recreation and community engagement. The role is to enable the person - not take over.

Home Support services help people maintain independence, wellbeing and quality of life while remaining in their own homes and communities.

WLIL supports people with a range of needs, including people with intellectual disabilities and autism. Supports may include daily living activities, household support, community participation and other agreed person-centred assistance.

Accessible passenger transport

Helping reduce transport barriers and isolation

WLIL operates a limited accessible passenger transport service. It can support access to day services, healthcare appointments, training, community activities and social opportunities, particularly where accessible transport choices are limited.

Transport is subject to service arrangements, capacity and availability.
