Who is Afford?

Afford provides disability accommodation and housing, community connection, disability supports and employment services so that people living with disability can live the lives they choose and feel and be connected in their communities.

Our impact also goes beyond our delivery of services – we partner across the sector to ensure the voices of people with disability are heard and valued.

Afford is one of Australia’s largest and most established disability service providers, with a 70-year history of working with our clients, their families and carers to achieve their goals, be empowered to make great choices and realise opportunities and aspirations in life and work.
