Sky's the Limit Disability Services

Sky's the Limit is a client-focused organisation that supports people living with a disability.

Sky’s the Limit Disability Services has been established in response to local community demand for quality disability support services. It is focused on managing unique, individually tailored supports to improve the health and wellbeing of South Australians living with a disability. Tim, our General Manager, has around 30 years’ experience in, and extensive knowledge of, the disability and communi

ty sectors, working across various disability sporting and recreation groups. He has also worked extensively in the employment of people living with a disability and is focused on the issues which most affect daily life. Working in the disability sector has enabled Tim to develop a deep understanding of the NDIS. This includes helping people to describe their goals, understand the supports available to them, and learn how to develop an NDIS plan that meets their needs. Tim's life experience means he has particular expertise in assistive technology, mobility, life skills, blind and low vision sport and recreation, and coming to terms with vision loss. Tim understands the key issues in the Australian disability sector that, when addressed, can remove barriers to people living with a disability achieving their goals. We offer the following services:
• Support with cleaning, gardening, and home maintenance
• Assistance with managing and attending appointments and going shopping
• Help with personal organisation and administration
• Support with community participation such as going for a walk, attending events or meeting new people
• Assistance with sport and recreation activities
• Help with organising holidays and travel
• Assistance with plan reviews and documentation

Our Vision:
A world in which all people living with a disability are leading healthy, active and connected lives. Our Mission:
To work in partnership with individuals living with a disability and support them to lead a healthy and active life and achieve their personal health, wellbeing and community engagement goals. Our Values guide who we are and what we stand for in every interaction. They are:
• Client-focused and committed to providing choice and control
• Determined in our advocacy
• Honest in our conduct and communication
• Accountable for our work
• Respectful in all our relationships

Vision loss doesn’t mean the end of your dreams — just a different way of seeing them.

Meet Nikki Hind, Australia’s first legally blind fashion designer and founder of Blind Grit — a fashion label built on strength, resilience and style.

After experiencing a stroke during pregnancy that left her legally blind, Nikki could have walked away from her dreams. Instead, she stepped forward into the world of fashion, proving that creativity doesn’t require perfect vision — just vision.

Nikki now designs bold, empowering collections and creates space for people who have faced adversity to shine. She’s also the author of “Dress for Success”, part of Vision Australia's Big Visions book series — an inspiring story that encourages young readers to dream big and be proud of who they are.

Her story is a powerful reminder that disability is not the opposite of ability — and that losing sight doesn’t mean losing purpose.

“My disability is part of my strength, and so is fashion.” — Nikki Hind

👁️ Did you know? Not all eye specialists do the same thing!

👓 Optometrists are professionals who manage general eye care. They can:
• check your vision
• prescribe glasses or contact lenses
• diagnose and treat many common eye conditions
• help manage things like poor vision and eye strain.

👨‍⚕️Ophthalmologists, on the other hand, are medical doctors who:
• specialise in eye diseases
• can perform surgery, like cataract removal or laser treatments
• often work with more serious or complex eye conditions.

Both play important roles in protecting your vision — and sometimes you might visit both! 💙

🌟 Working with people, not for them — that’s exactly how we do things at Sky’s the Limit Disability Services.

In this article from the University of Bristol (https://policystudies.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/2015/04/15/co-production-and-change-for-disabled-people/), Val Williams writes about the power of co-production — where people with disability are not just consulted but actively involved in shaping the services they use. It’s a reminder that real support is about partnership, trust and shared decision-making.

At Sky’s the Limit, we believe in walking alongside our clients — not leading or pushing from behind. One simple but powerful way we do this is by offering reliable, compassionate support for medical appointments and important outings. 🚗🩺

Our Personal Support Specialists can assist with:
✅ Transport and navigation
✅ Accompanying you into appointments (if you wish)
✅ Helping you manage paperwork and follow-up tasks
✅ Being a calm, supportive presence throughout

We know how stressful it can be to get to, and through, appointments. That’s why we’re here to make the experience easier, safer and more empowering.

📞 Contact us today to find out how we can support you to stay in control and feel confident — every step of the way.

🎭✨ A Magical Day at the Theatre! ✨🎭

Carmel and her support worker Helen had an unforgettable time at the audio-described performance of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at the Adelaide Festival Centre!

Thanks to Access2Arts , they received pre-show notes in an accessible format, full of rich details about the sets, costumes, characters and the cast and creative team. The Adelaide Festival Centre went above and beyond, organising headsets and a special tactile tour before the show.

Carmel was delighted to meet some of the creative team and even got to touch the stunning costumes before the performance began. She described it as an absolutely joyous experience. 💛

Helen was equally thrilled to share such a magical day at the theatre with Carmel. Bravo to everyone who made this level of inclusion and creativity possible! 👏

🎤🎸🎉 Quiz Night Fun with See Differently! 🎉🎸🎤

Last Friday, a fabulous crew of clients, friends and staff from Sky’s the Limit and Blind Sports SA went along to the See Differently with the Royal Society for the Blind Quiz Night!

We came dressed to impress with a musical theme… we had Captain & Tennille, Elton John, Guns N’ Roses, Chrissy Amphlett, a punk rocker and even a Pink Lady! 🎶💃🕺

With four tables full of amazing people (and even more amazing food to share!), the energy was high — and we’re thrilled to say that one of our teams took out the WIN! 🏆👏

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, dressed up and brought the good vibes. We love getting out in the community, supporting the work of great organisations, and making memories like these.

🥣 Soup season is here! ❄️

There’s nothing quite like a hot bowl of soup on a chilly winter day. Whether it's a classic pumpkin, hearty minestrone, creamy potato and leek or spicy lentil, soup has a way of making us feel nourished and comforted. 💛

Soup is simple to make, easy to adapt to your taste and there are endless varieties to enjoy. It's the perfect winter meal—whether you're cooking with a support worker, preparing meals for the week or just looking for something quick for dinner.

👉 What’s your favourite soup? Share your go-to recipe in the comments!
