I am delighted to share your Impact Report, where you’ll  meet some of the incredible people whose lives have been enriched through donations from our supporters over the past year. 

Your donations make it possible for our clients to enjoy the everyday experiences that many of us take for granted, like enjoying community excursions, staying active, and doing things they love like cooking lessons, or simply getting out and about.

Deafblind Camp 2026: Connection, Confidence and Community

Forty deafblind campers from across Australia came together for Deafblind Camp 2026. Alongside Communication Guides, Auslan interpreters, volunteers and Able Australia employees, they shared three unforgettable days filled with friendship, learning, laughter and new experiences. What made this year’s camp especially significant was that it was led by the Deafblind community, for the Deafblind community. Your support helps make opportunities like this possible. 

Watch the video above from Deafblind Camp 2026 to see your impact in action.
