24.01.2022 Hi all. We are happy to share on behalf of Noah Ryan, an instagram account that he has created, which will have photo's of places around Perth where there is both good and bad disability access. The goal is to bring awareness and hopefully create change in areas that lack accessibility for people with a disability. Please follow the page, and stay tuned for more..... https://www.instagram.com/p/B9D342ApynV/?igshid=tkvy6v6nyslf

23.01.2022 This week, the landscape surrounding COVID 19 has changed rapidly. The team at Directions have responded quickly, with absolute commitment and a desire to help. We understand that different people have different needs and this includes physical, social and emotional well being, along with mental health. It has been inspiring to see the team rise to the challenge by adapting to change, finding creative solutions and working around the clock to ensure the very best of care and ...support for all. Together we find the positives to help navigate through. Thank you team. Alison Kelly CEO - Directions
