The Simmons Sisters
In 1997, Able Australia bought this home in Bonbeach for three of our clients to call home. This was made possible by Beryl and Julia Simmons, who left a generous gift in their Will to Able Australia.
Although Julia and Beryl are sadly no longer with us, their legacy lives on even after 20 years. Their generosity has made a lasting impact on the lives of people living with a disability now and in the future – a gift that keeps on giving
“It feels like my home. I smile a lot here” says Wayne.
We are incredibly grateful to the Simmons sisters for their kindness and generosity that has given our clients like Wayne a home where they can feel comfortable and independent.

Sir Eric Pearce
Sir Eric Pearce was a broadcaster and television pioneer in Australia, and patron of Able Australia.
Sir Eric Pearce sadly passed away on April 12th 1997, and thus, the Sir Eric Pearce Deafblind Fund was established. These growth funds are invested in various projects at Able Australia that continue to support people with disabilities to live the life they choose.
Although Sir Eric Pearce is no longer with us, his genuine, hands-on involvement contributed greatly to funding and supporting this community, which will go on to live on forever.
