About Us

Best Lives (formerly Essential Personnel) is a not-for-profit organisation that has been inspiring and supporting people with disabilities and diverse abilities across Western Australia to enjoy a life of purpose, promise and possibilities since 1986.

From Perth to the Wheatbelt, by working collaboratively and thinking creatively, we find the right way forward for every person we support. We do this by listening, understanding what each person’s best life looks like, and working together to make it happen.
