Microboards Australia are first and foremost a family led organisation. We know the support needs of people and families and make sure this stays at the forefront of our values and support for others. Microboards have been supporting families and people for many years resulting in broad reaching expertise in the areas of quality of life, sustainable support networks, supported decision making, behaviour support, communication access, regulation support and health access for people with a disability.

Testimonials from some of our service users

Wow, after watching the microboards early years info session.. it looks like such a great support system to have in place.

I'm really looking forward to learning more and having a microboard set up for my son.

Couldn't come at a better time.

I would like to thank Jaquie for all the amazing work she has done - she continues to be a huge inspiration to others. I know I wouldn’t be here today without her leadership.

I told Jacqui I’d been looking for a solution for my daughter’s ongoing care for the last 8-10 years; I was introduced to the idea of “Circles of Support” by a church friend and most parents I speak to haven’t even heard about that. So I consider myself to be a little ‘ahead of the pack’ but on Friday I realised my vista was only a drop in the ocean. I was so excited by Jacqui’s talk, especially that the few strategies presented are actually achievable - from admittedly, my naive point of view!

I did training a couple of years ago and I'm still talking about it.

I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed a course more than this one!
