Our director Scott established Connecting Futures in 2019, bringing a decade of experience in the disability and training sector with him.
Within a short time, our support coordination and employment services were in high demand, and our organisation grew in a very short time.
We’ve had such a fantastic response since our launch in 2019 that we are constantly expanding our team to meet the demand for our services.
We’ve got so many exciting ideas for innovative ways to help people with disability and for new programs we are keen to explore. Watch this space.
