Welcome from Chief Executive, Claire Robbs
On behalf of Life Without Barriers, I extend our appreciation for the trust placed in us by the people, communities and supporters we have partnered with over the year. I am pleased to share the 2022-23 Annual Report which highlights some of the wonderful stories we have been fortunate to witness and be a part of. Our work is only possible because of collaboration with carers, families, the people we support, and non-government and government agencies.
Thank you to every person who has shared their stories with us in this year’s report. This is our most sustainable, accessible, and interactive Annual Report yet – it’s a living document celebrating our incredible community.

Active Support in Action
The right to make choices and have control over how we participate and engage in our community is an important key indicator of quality of life, and a fundamental human right. For people with intellectual disability, there can be barriers to participation in activities of daily living both in the home and community. Active Support is an evidence-based approach that increases engagement and expands a person with disability’s capacity to make choices and participate meaningfully in their lives. It focusses on a person’s right to choose what they do and enables support teams to partner more effectively with them.
Our partnerships this year
On behalf of the Board and Executive Team at Life Without Barriers, we extend our sincere thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the journey of tens of thousands of people. We thank our staff and carers for their commitment through what has been another extraordinary year.

Collaborating for Impact
The essence of Life Without Barriers has always been the importance we place on our values and relationships. As we embarked on the first year of our Strategy 2025, it is the people that we partner with that have enabled us to extend the impact we are having across Australia.
