We are also a social enterprise with business arms producing a large number of products in the Northern Territory across a range of industries.We thrive on innovation all HPA enterprises provide essential training and employment opportunities for our supported employees and all profits are reinvested into the Northern Territor...y’s disability sector. It is unusual to find an organisation that blends its role as a disability service provider with a highly competitive and successful supply chain partner that delivers products and services to the corporate and government sector. Thank you again to all the HPA Team, family members and especially our supporters for your ongoing passion, drive and interest in our organisation and we are looking forward to working with you to expand our future.

13.01.2022 Are You Ready to Stand Tall From the Inside? Had the absolute pleasure to chat this morning from Angie Clucas was born with Russell-Silver syndrome, a condition that affects normal growth. Due to this, she was born smaller than most and with some physical differences. Despite growing up in a warm, loving family environment, being different meant standing out, and standing out meant being bullied. Angie endured relentless bullying throughout her life, and because of this, sh...e developed inner resources and tools to help her overcome the torment. She found new ways to rise above the bullies and become her best self. Angie now helps others overcome bullying. She helps people crawl out of the shadows of poor self-esteem and self-confidence and climb to new heights in their life. Standing Tall From the Inside helps you: Break the cycle of being bullied Create a resilient and powerful mindset Learn how to move your life in a positive direction Understand your boundaries, your strengths, and your purpose Develop new empowering strategies to live your best life and not let the bullies win! Angie’s deeply personal memories, practical exercises, and down-to-earth advice is a must-read for anyone growing up in today’s world. Angie Clucas is a speaker, author, manager, anti-bullying advocate, and extremely proud mother. She shares her story as a way to encourages others to Stand Tall from the Inside! Enjoy and Happy Friday Everyone #onlypositivity

10.01.2022 Had such a great morning today and what an honour to be asked to come down to Howard Springs Primary School to talk about my life and especially my HPA journey and present the "Aussie of the Month" to Kyani Hardwick. Kyani has shown values of Fair Go and Mateship. She has provided opportunities for others to play in her netball club which is run at recess with no prompting from the teachers. She shows compassion to all students and will always help others in need. She is a...lways respectful to her peers, teachers and other adults in the school. She has run mini maths lessons to help students who need support. She has also supported the other House Captains when they struggled to fulfil their duties. Such an inspiring school and with incredible passionate teachers especially lead by Assistant Principle Narelle Dahl and School Principle Julie Perry. Thank you Tony Burns CEO - "Helping People Achieve"
