3Since then we have grown and diversified and now provide a broad range of personalised supports for children and young people through youth and family counselling and a range of services for people with disabilities. People with disabilities may choose from our community supports, NDIS support coordination, or our accommodation options. ConnectAbility customers reside throughout Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland, other Lower Hunter local government areas and on the Central Coast.

5Our approach is personal, flexible and centred on the person. Whether you are a young person seeking counselling or are a person with a disability looking to achieve goals and dreams, ConnectAbility will work with you and, should you choose, those closest to you to ensure you achieve your goals.

7We look at creating meaningful relationships and true inclusion for people within the community. Whether you are looking to undertake further education and training, volunteer work or recreational activities using local facilities such as libraries, parks, gyms, shopping centres and other recreational venues, ConnectAbility can work with you to address any barriers that exist for you being able to achieve your goals, dreams and aspirations.

9ConnectAbility also has a range of supported independent living (SIL) accommodation options that can assist you to live the independent life you choose in a home that meets your needs – whether it is having staff available 24/7 or with occasional supports (concierge model) in an area that meets your needs.`,b="To empower people with disability and those needing aged care support to live the life they choose, with dignity, independence and full community participation.",w="A community where all people, regardless of ability, are valued, included and supported to achieve their goals, dreams and aspirations.",i=JSON.stringify([{title:"Person-Centred",desc:"We place the individual at the heart of everything we do, supporting each person to live the life they choose."},{title:"Inclusive",desc:"We celebrate diversity and work to ensure everyone has equal access to opportunities and community participation."},{title:"Empowering",desc:"We build capacity and confidence, helping people achieve their goals, dreams and aspirations."},{title:"Respectful",desc:"We treat everyone with dignity, honesty and respect, honouring each person's unique strengths and experiences."},{title:"Accountable",desc:"We are transparent, responsible and committed to continuous improvement in everything we do."},{title:"Community",desc:"We actively seek partnerships and connections that create meaningful opportunities for the people we support."}]);function L(){const{data:t,isLoading:a}=x.ourStory.get.useQuery(),n=t?.heroTitle||"Our Story",r=t?.heroSubtitle||"Over 30 years of empowering people to achieve their goals, dreams and aspirations.",l=t?.foundingStory||v,c=t?.missionStatement||b,d=t?.visionStatement||w,h=t?.valuesContent||i,p=t?.heroImage||"https://d2xsxph8kpxj0f.cloudfront.net/310519663138023963/ADdL2Gi9wbADNxkMXurCWy/ABOUTpage_87cf6426.jpeg";let s=[];try{s=JSON.parse(h)}catch{s=JSON.parse(i)}const u=l.split(`
