Welcome to identitywa. We are an outreach of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Perth that provides support and services to people with intellectual disabilities and their families, and have been proudly doing so since 1977.

identitywa’s target group is people with intellectual and/or multiple disabilities, particularly those with expressed spiritual needs. identitywa provides services to people with intellectual disabilities of all ages and with a varying range of support needs. We specialise in services for people with high support needs, including those who display challenging behaviour.

identitywa has a reputation for quality, clear values, transparent policies, integrity, and skilled and committed management and staff. Our services for families are designed to meet the individual needs of mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and carers of people with disabilities.

We provide our services across the Perth metropolitan area.

Thank you for taking the time to visit identitywa. Please take a look around and learn more about us. You can also donate online to help us support people with intellectual disabilites, or even volunteer your time to help out in person.

LifeLink is an organisation established in 1994 by the Archbishop of Perth charged with the responsibility for helping to fund, promote and support the thirteen social service agencies of the Archdiocese of Perth. identitywa is one of these LifeLink agencies.

LifeLink supports identitywa through their website and fundraising appeals. Funds from LifeLink are raised through a winter and summer appeal, and through LifeLink Day in June each year. Lifelink Day includes a webcast to over 100 Catholic schools within the Archdiocese of Perth.

identitywa is very proud to announce we have been chosen as the LifeLink feature agency for 2011. We feature in their official newsletter and in the schools webcast on June 8, 2011.
