Life Without Barriers Integrated Football

In 2011 the Perth Football League (Formally Western Australian Amateur Football League) was entrusted as the host body of Integrated Football. The Perth Football League's community orientated ethos encouraged the inclusion and participation of athletes with an intellectual disability in an Australian Football competition. 

The most important factors related to taking part in this football competition are the social, emotional and personal growth associated with being part of a team and general enjoyment of being part of something. The experience of football is overwhelmingly positive.

Life Without Barriers understands every young person’s journey to employment is different, which is why the YPEP team offers a range of activities to support each young person to achieve their goals.

As one of Australia’s largest national NDIS providers, Life Without Barriers has been supporting people with disability and their families for almost 30 years. Joblife Employment is a national disability employment specialist that believes in a job for everybody. Together, they are working to break down barriers to employment for people with disability and promote equal opportunity for all.

Some of these activities may include:

  • Identifying what jobs or courses each young person is interested in

  • Building confidence and everyday communication skills

  • Writing a resume & Preparing for interviews

  • Identifying specific job skills and training

  • Undertaking work experience

  • Finding a job, traineeship, or apprenticeship

  • A broad range of additional support services – not just related to employment or NDIS
