About

Built from the ground up.
Pointed the same way.

Live it Up started with a simple frustration: too many services are designed around systems, paperwork and providers, and not around the actual person in the room. So we built one that isn't.

The name

It's not a slogan.
It's the whole plan.

"Live it Up" is what we actually want for the people we support: a life with more in it. More say, more skill, more connection, more good days. The name sets the bar, and then it's on us to clear it, one shift at a time.

We're a local, independently run NDIS provider based in Warilla, working across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven. Small enough that you'll know our names. Serious enough that the paperwork, screening and safeguards are always done properly.

Who we are

We are Live it Up Pty Ltd, a community services organisation dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities and vulnerable young people. Based in Warilla, working across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven, with a focus on invisible disability: intellectual disability, brain injury, autism, ADHD and trauma.

Vision, mission and why

The world we're working for.

Vision

We imagine a world where everyone, no matter their challenges, has the opportunity to thrive, to belong, and to achieve their fullest potential.

Mission

We exist to empower individuals with disabilities and those facing life's toughest challenges. By creating a support system built on trust, care, and resilience, we enable them to take control of their lives, discover their strengths, and step confidently into a future they choose.

Why we do it

Because where you come from doesn't define where you can go. Everyone deserves equal opportunities to thrive, regardless of their challenges, background, or abilities.

Our values

Six values. Non-negotiable.

Start with Integrity

Everything we do begins with honesty, transparency, and doing what's right, even when no one is watching.

Empower, Don't Enable

We provide the tools, not just the answers, so every person can discover their strength and independence.

Lead with Heart

Kindness isn't a strategy: it's who we are. We walk alongside, not ahead of, those we serve.

Relentless Commitment

Challenges don't deter us: they drive us. We're here to create lasting impact by showing up every single day.

Connection is Everything

We believe in building belonging. No one succeeds alone, and no one is left behind.

Humble Resilience

No matter where someone starts, we see the infinite possibilities of where they can go.

The standard we hold

Promises you can hold us to.

Values are easy to print and hard to keep. These are the working standards behind ours, written so you can check us against them.

Honest records

We write down what actually happened, not what looks good. Observation and interpretation stay clearly separated.

Clean billing

We bill for what we deliver. Nothing else, nothing creative, no exceptions.

Warmth with boundaries

Warm, respectful, professional relationships. Never over-familiar, never distant, never inconsistent because someone is liked.

The whole person

You are never reduced to a diagnosis, an incident, or a bad day. Context, strengths and circumstances always count.

Own the outcome

If something is drifting, we act early, say so plainly, and follow through. Problems don't get parked between roles.

A sustainable team

We don't run our people into the ground and call it commitment. Consistent support needs a team built to last.

The team

Real people. Local people.

A leadership team you can actually reach, and a crew of support workers across the region who walk alongside the people we support, show up, and follow through.
