Elba Inc

Elba Incorporated, established in 1990, is a not-for-profit disability services organisation. Above all, it is operated by our members, for the benefit of our members.
A group of spinal cord injury patients established Elba. They decided to create an organisation, as the only option was to live at the Quadriplegic Centre in Shenton Park, Western Australia.
They decided to assert their independence and establish an organisation where they were able to manage their funding. This was by the Commonwealth Government, which later transferred to the Disability Service Commission of Western Australia.  Specifically, their goal was to live in their own homes with freedom, dignity and choice of support workers/carers.
Elba is an endorsed disability services provider for NDIS and the Insurance Commission of WA.
Our members have a wide range of disabilities. Markedly approximate half are wheelchair users, who predominantly have spinal cord injuries.
