20.01.2022 Steve from Able Anglers spent this week in Cairns scoping out safe, accessible and suitable locations for our Cairns fishing respite operations. During the trip..., Able Anglers setup the Cairns area ready to operate from next week. Jack our local man in Cairns will operate weekly sessions on Wednesdays. 2 sessions per day. These land based fishing sessions will operate in the same way Brisbane sessions do and will be just as successful. Cairns groups will show up on our Current Events page on our website from today. When contacting Able Anglers either via Phone, SMS, Email, Facebook or Instagram, please advise what area/suburb you are in to ensure your query is given the most accurate information. We are excited about this expansion, to be able to bring our social inclusion, mental health respite services to additional areas is very exciting, knowing that Cairns region will benefit from our services is heartwarming. #cairns #ableanglers #mentalillness #mentalhealth #disability #fishing #fnq #reelopportunitiesforrealpeople #ndis #ndiscairns #socialinclusion

10.01.2022 Not all communication is speech. Around 1.2 million Australians have communication disability. Though, communication disability is largely invisible. Unseen an...d out-of-sight. That’s why during Speech Pathology Week (23-29 August), we strive to raise awareness of communication disability and the important work speech pathologists do to ensure every Australian is ‘communicating with confidence’.
