Established in 1985, our Sunbury service continues to provide quality supports across the region
We've seen many changes over the years, yet our core values remain unchanged: we offer real-life choices for people with disabilities, their families and supporters.
Experience counts -we have a dedicated management team and support staff, some of who've been with Distinctive Options since its inception. The focus is always on you as an individual and the support that you need to live your best life possible.
We specialise in group based activities, individualised supports, pathways to employment and travel adventures.
We'd love to see you soon!
