All Abilities Gippsland was founded by sisters Allese Wills and Bianca Mitchell in 2020, with the opening of Lillico House, a residential and respite care home in Warragul. Allese and Bianca grew up around people living with disability, as well as family members who worked in the sector. These early experiences shaped their approach to their work today -- people living with disability should be encouraged to engage with and make decisions around their own activities and care, to the best of their abilities. They should be treated like people with their own wants, needs, preferences, and joys. At All Abilities Gippsland, we believe in creating a positive environment where we're open to new ideas and new approaches. Our services are client-led, and instead of relying on too much structure or a one-size-fits-all approach, we recognise that everyone has different needs, and different interests. Our service is proudly small, so that all of our clients can receive the care, attention, and engagement they need.
