About us

Our personalised services give people and their families in rural and regional communities more choice, control and independence. Our support opens up a world of possibilities and experiences and we do it together, one person and one life goal at a time. This has been our driving focus since 1993, when our not-for-profit organisation was established by a group of families in Beaudesert. While today, the footprint of our organisation has grown significantly, we distinguish ourselves from the pack, by remaining true to the vision of our founders who strived for more options and opportunities for their loved ones living with disability. Staying true to our ethos of ‘locals supporting locals’ we are always on the lookout for passionate people who embody our values to join our team, as we continue to grow our services into the rural and regional communities that need it most.

Rural Lifestyle Options Australia’s commitment to the people who access our services remains resolute, proudly underpinned by our organisation’s motto of “Big enough to provide the service, small enough to look after you.”
