The contribution we make to the community

Helping People Achieve (HPA) has provided supported employment and accommodation to Territorians with disabilities since 1963. The aim of HPA’s employment service is to benefit the community through the creation and development of employment opportunities for people with disabilities and to facilitate supported accommodation.

How supported employees and their families benefit

The aim of HPA’s employment service is to benefit individuals with training and ongoing support necessary to enable their success in ‘open employment’. HPA has a strong record of achieving success in this role.
HPA currently has two business enterprises, Kokoda Industries and Ausdesigns that produce excellent local products and services.
Kokoda Industries trains and upskills employees in a vast array of tasks and manufactures a range of high quality timber, steel and aluminium products.
Ausdesigns also has a diverse range of competencies and skills for its employees to learn. It is an industrial sewing, screen-printing and embroidery business.
DAS Support Services is the supported accommodation division of HPA. DAS provides this valuable outreach support to approximately 35 people living independently in the community.
