About selectability

selectability is a not-for-profit charity dedicated to improving mental wellbeing and preventing suicide across regional Queensland.

We believe everyone deserves access to high-quality supports locally and at every stage of life. Over the past year, we’ve strengthened our commitment to delivering child and family care, along with aged care services, so that more Queenslanders in regional, rural and remote communities have access to the support they need.

Operating across a diverse geographic footprint, our head office is based in Townsville. Our aged care services span the Lower Gulf communities of Normanton, Mornington Island, and Doomadgee, and selectabiity has recently expanded this program to Aurukun.

Since 2021, we’ve provided child and family care services, and in that time have expanded and matured our program to ensure more children and young people have access to the residential care they need.

Today, we support 18 diverse communities—extending north to Aurukun, south to Rockhampton, and west to Mount Isa.

We’re proud to be one of the region’s leading providers of NDIS psychosocial supports—and by partnering with state and federal governments, we deliver wellbeing programs that ensure people who aren’t receiving the NDIS can still access the vital services they need.

selectability's workforce of almost 1000 passionate, skilled and dedicated individuals is central to our high-quality, person-centred service delivery. Our team delivers care with empathy and professionalism, supporting our recipients to build confidence, indepedence and a strong sense of beloning.

Whether it's supporting individuals through the NDIS or a funded wellbeing program, guiding the development of children and young people, or delivering aged care services with dignity and respect, our employees make a difference every day.
