genU joins Australia's largest not-for-profit disability alliance

genU is proud to announce that we have officially joined Ability First Australia, becoming part of Australia's largest alliance of not-for-profit disability service providers.  By welcoming 10 new member organisations this July, the now 25-member-strong alliance will strengthen the future of disability services across the country. 

As the disability sector continues to navigate significant reform, collaboration has never been more important. By joining Ability First Australia, genU will work alongside like-minded organisations to build genuinely inclusive communities through sharing knowledge and advocating for practical and person-centred policy. 

genU Chief Executive Officer, Dr Chelsea Tobin, said the partnership reflects genU's commitment to working collaboratively to achieve better outcomes for the people and communities it supports. 

"The Australian disability sector is at a pivotal moment. The reforms underway will shape how we support people with disability for years to come, and it's more important than ever that organisations work together to help influence that future. 

"No single organisation has all the answers. By collaborating, sharing our experience and advocating for reforms that have people at the centre of decision-making, we have a much stronger opportunity to create positive change. 

"We're excited to join Ability First Australia and look forward to working alongside fellow members to create a stronger, more sustainable disability sector for people with disability, their families and the communities we serve." 

Ability First Australia is a national alliance of leading not-for-profit disability service providers committed to influencing policy, sharing expertise and driving innovation across the sector. Together, member organisations support hundreds of thousands of Australians living with disability through a diverse range of services and supports. 

We look forward to contributing to the important work ahead and helping build a stronger, more sustainable disability sector for all Australians.
