DEDICATED to creating a more inclusive society, WDEA Works is taking a bold step forward. With over 30 years of experience in transforming lives and fostering connections, WDEA Works is set to embark on an extraordinary journey with a strategic rebranding initiative under the new name, are-able. This move aims to deepen their positive impact and extend their reach across more communities.
Since its inception in 1989, are-able has been a pillar of support for individuals with disabilities, helping them secure a place in the workforce. From humble beginnings in Warrnambool, the organisation’s footprint has expanded across Victoria, South Australia, and Queensland, driven by the increasing demand for its services.

The new brand, are-able, represents more than just a new look. It’s a catalyst for change, breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes to create an environment where everyone’s abilities are recognised and nurtured. The organisation’s commitment to doing “more for more people in more communities” remains steadfast, as it continues to bring diverse communities together to help individuals reach their full potential.
Tom Scarborough, CEO of are-able, said, “This rebranding marks a pivotal chapter in our organisation’s journey. It reflects how we are doing more to deliver greater impact, create opportunities for inclusiveness and drive positive change in communities across Australia. Together we are building communities that say yes, together we are able.”
