Our clients may have physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries, neurological conditions, intellectual disabilities, or autism. We’re honored that many of our clients rely solely on InLife for their essential support needs.
Our teams are based in Melbourne, Geelong, and regional Victoria, including Benalla, Wangaratta, Stawell, and Bendigo.

We continue to learn more about inclusion every day, so if there is something you think we could do differently to make InLife a place you could picture yourself working, we’re all ears.
