About the organisation
About Us
WA Blue Sky is firmly established as a long standing community organisation supporting people with disability in the Perth Metro area.
Our organisation started in 1992, with a focus on providing support and accommodation to individuals who wished to have their individual, community supports and housing needs met by an organisation whom truly focused on the person, ensured their voice would be heard and their feedback be actioned.
Since then, our organisation has continually evolved and grown. In that time we also diversified our service portfolio to meet the growing needs of the people we support, while our geographical reach has developed considerably to cover the full metropolitan area of Perth. Our organisation makes a difference to the lives of many people with disability, by supporting them to develop and maintain their skills, whilst providing a range of affordable rental housing options.
As we move forward into a new era of Disability Services, WA Blue Sky remains committed to focusing on our vision, everyone deserves to live a life of choice. WA Blue Sky will continue to provide a diverse and comprehensive suite of innovative support services whilst continuing to build on our reputation of providing tailored and responsive supports to people with disability.
