Who we are

We deliver tailored support that empowers people to live the life they choose.  

We know everyone’s goals are different and no two journeys look alike. It’s why we co-navigate a unique pathway with each client by exploring a wide range of disciplines and services across all life stages to achieve whatever amazing means for them.  

Our support assists clients to follow the pathway they choose, navigating life’s unique challenges to bring their next accomplishment closer.  

As a not-for-profit charity, we also partner with members of the community to raise awareness and vital funds to benefit people with disability.  

At Novita, our life-changing services and supports celebrate diversity, champion accessibility and ingrain inclusivity because we believe all people play a part in shaping the society we share. 

We embrace everyone for who they are and support each of our clients to achieve something amazing of their own.
