Today we’re shouting out our friend — and absolute superstar — Richard Habelrih! 🌟
You might recognise Richard’s gorgeous gap-toothed grin from a whole swag of Afford’s new brochures (trust us, he’s been charming everyone who lays eyes on them 😍).
When he’s not modelling with Model MATES Richard is busy running his own business, Freckly Faces by Richard, proving once again that talent, creativity and pure charisma are absolutely his brand.
We’re so proud to have Richard representing Afford and shining his bright, joyful energy across everything he does. Keep being brilliant, Richard! ✨🧡

It's a big week for us at Afford with the announcement of our new look and feel and the official opening of our Inclusive Employment Australia programs.
On Tuesday we kicked off a week of celebrations with a ceremonial ribbon cutting at our Marrickville office.
We were joined by her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC who did the ribbon-cutting honours and spoke about how important it is for people with disability to have access to employment and careers.
We were also joined by City of Sydney Councillor Adam Worling and Board Member Mark Arnold and a number of community leaders, staff members and clients.

We'd love to hear from you.

Afford clients tell us they feel happy, safe and supported with us.
Our disability support services include accommodation, in-home support, community and lifestyle, employment and support coordination across New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria.
Whatever the day brings, we will be there. From ticking off the serious stuff and working towards goals to sharing adventures and enjoying the moments that make it worthwhile.
We bring the motivation (and sometimes the snacks!). 🍎😄

Big news — Afford has had a glow-up!

We’ve refreshed our brand with a bright new look and feel that celebrates who we are today, and the exciting future we’re building together.

Why the change?

We’ve grown — and so has the world around us. Our purpose as a not-for-profit and our place in the communities where we work continue to evolve. We’re also expanding our reach and strengthening our future thanks to a new partnership with Inclusive Employment Australia.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be opening new IEA offices in NSW, VIC, and QLD — helping us connect with and support even more amazing people.

Our growth reflects the quality of our services, the dedication of our people, and the clarity of our purpose. Our refreshed look is simply the next step in showing the world who we are: friendly, adventurous and proud of the difference we make every day.

What’s changing?

✨ A brand-new tagline – Good friends. Great adventures.
🎨 A modern logo and fresh graphics that tell our story in a fun, exciting way.
📸 Real-life images and language that reflect you — our amazing community.

What’s not changing?

💜 Our name, our people, and the way we care for and support one another.
🌟 Our purpose and values — they’re still at the heart of everything we do.

Why it matters

Our refreshed brand will help more people see and connect with us, so we can support even more Australians with disability to live meaningful, connected and adventurous lives.

Designed by you, for you

Here’s the best part — our clients, staff, and community members helped shape every detail! Together, we co-designed this look to make sure it reflects who we are and what matters most to us all.

This isn’t just a new logo — it’s a celebration of you: our community of friends, families and supporters who make every day at Afford an adventure worth having. 💫

We can’t wait to share this next chapter with you.
Good friends. Great adventures. That’s Afford.

The social media ban looks to be on its way. But what will that mean for teens and kids with disabilities? And how do you feel about it?
Let us know. And check out the yarn below. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Teens with disabilities say they might end up losing contact with friends and online communities due to being banned from social media.

💬 Did you know? People with disability make up nearly one in five Australians — yet many still face barriers in everyday life.
Together, we can change that. Start by being inclusive in how you speak, hire, and design.
