Our Story

WA Blue Sky was established by a group of families on behalf of their family members with disability, who wished to have more control in their lives and believed a Respect – We see the person and accept each other for who we are.

The first of many planning meetings was held in 1991, which set the direction of future organisation to be personalised and flexible in how services are offered, and working in partnership with people to create supports that make a difference. Since 1992, WA Blue Sky has continued to  evolve and has expanded our services across metropolitan Perth, holding true to the Founders’ original purpose.

As we support people with disability move into the NDIS, we remain committed to our vision of supporting lifelong possibilities. We will continue to provide a diverse and comprehensive suite of innovative services, whilst furthering our strong reputation for providing tailored, responsive and reliable supports.


Core to our purpose is the fact that people are at the heart of everything we do. We believe people should have the opportunity and support to live life how they choose.

What We Stand For

What we believe defines the way we work, every day. We recognise that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to disability support, that each person has different needs and wishes.

Our Values
  • Respect – We see the person & accept each other for who we are.
  • Togetherness – We work together so your supports are right.
  • Honesty – We own it & we speak up when it’s not right.
  • Excellence – We do our best & we do it well.
Our Vision

Supporting life-long possibilities. At WA Blue Sky we:

  • Celebrate your individuality,
  • Encourage and respect your choices and decisions,
  • Continuously aspire to achieve positive outcomes for you, and
  • Strive for improvement at all times.
Our Purpose

Your plan is our purpose. We support your plan by:

  • Enabling your individual potential
  • Being committed to working in partnership with you, and;
  • Providing you with personalised quality services.
Our Commitment to Research, Learning and Development

Finding better ways…

In 2018, WA Blue Sky made a strategic decision to operate as a contributor to the community services sector in addition to providing services, with the objective of improving the wellbeing of West Australian with disability through collaborating within our sector to

  • Improve insight from applied research
  • Ensure ongoing learning and building understanding
  • Share knowledge and information

Why we want to contribute…

As a well-established organisation, WA Blue Sky is committed to the principles and positive outcomes of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for West Australians with disability and their families. We see the risk of not contributing:

  • The NDIS environment is new and immature in Western Australia & transition from State funded services will not be complete until after 2020
  • Over 70% of providers of disability services are small and medium organisations, with an essential and irreplaceable role in building community cohesion, providing opportunities for engagement and building social capital.
  • The largest risk to the NDIS in WA will be lack of high quality and safe specialist services when they are needed by people with disability.

2019 Values Based recruitment in disability services

  • “

    Back in early 90’s several families decided to create a small organisation to provide a better outcome for our family members with disability, where we are not be a number in a long waiting list or a big company.

    Our meeting was held on a beautiful sunny day, and one of us looked skywards saying let’s call it Blue Sky and hence the name we have today.

    It was not an easy task to start this Organisation from scratch. Our first service was the development of three individual housing units, in which all involved were included in the design – these became a showpiece for disability services in Perth.

    What started as a dream for a small number of parents has gone on to become the organisation we know today, welcoming many new members and service users, and offering different service types and locations.

    I don’t go the ‘extra mile’ in the things I do, to seek acknowledgement. I get a sense of fulfilment, walking away with a feeling of accomplishment, in being able
to support to the best of my ability.

    Being a mother & carer of my son, I can empathise with our service users & their family members, even though all our journeys are different, the care & respect we have for one another, can only make all our lives better
